8.30pm at Heathrow Airport having spent 2 hrs on the coach friom Bristol and and my flights to Doha then onward to Bangkok are cancelled. This is due to 3000 protestors in Bangkok airport peacefully trying to oust their prime minister. Well I will not go into details here but this is a an obstacle which turns into a blessing when an old school friend Karleene Evans meets me at the airport, says that she will take me back to her home and offers me a place to stay while I rebook another flight etc etc, Anyway the blessing in disguise was I was able to finish my tax return before I left and spent some time visiting some close friends in Brighton that I rarely get to see having moved to Bristol. This was a great experience weather was dry and crisp and I left with a feeling of real love and support that real friends are often only able to show you when you are in a tricky predicament and need real help.
At this point I would like to say a huge thank you to Karleene Evans, Jacqui Clark, Marcus Hill for all your support and help over the last week helping me to make it out finally, emotionally and technically ready…
