It’s been a little over 6 years since I last visited the Jim Thompson House & museum in Bangkok, and revisiting it was every bit as interesting as I remembered. It was pretty crowded (as is Bangkok, all the time it seems), but the crowd management and visitor flow is …
They are brilliant. End of review. Seriously, what’s not to like about the Nature Forever range of bird feeders, which are very reasonably priced, available here in India on Amazon (don’t worry – the relevant links are below) and, in our case at least, have attracted loads of birds and …
Last year, prior to a diving trip to Borneo, we bought a Seatosummit lightweight dry sack from a dive shop in KL. 8 litre capacity and weighing in at only a spectacular 58 grams. I have just taken my lovely bright yellow dry bag with me on its first “summit” outing – a 2 …

Since I started running 2 1/2 years ago, I have acquired quite a collection of T shirts. As one does. Races, promotional runs, fun runs, our running club – many of these events come with a T shirt. t10sports in Gurgaon, just over the border from Delhi, makes Tshirts, fleeces, …
