Michele and Kevin have left Australian shores for the UK, Kevin in search of Follies and Ancient sites, and Michele in search of exciting new components for her next collection. So from the 1st of April 08 I'll be keeping you posted right here with Michele's pictures and stories as soon as they come in.

Bangkok
"Life is lived on the streets babies are bathed food is consumed constantly cots tables chairs all crowd the footpaths, street vendors take up any spare space usually tending spitting woks or steaming couldrons with makeshift trestles groaning under the weight of any amazingly varied range of foodstuffs.There is obviously no space to walk so we walk on the edge of the road dodging the roaring tide of tuk tuks and scooters piled high with goods twice their size.we just saw a scooter carrying a new fridge in its box.The only jewellery I have seen is very yellow gold and pretty ugly.in this heat, 40 degrees in the shade, I am not inclined to search out stones and not having the language puts me at too great a disadvantage ,so I will wait for the UK."

"Dear folk, there is very little to write about jewellery at this stage,also the internet and even phone coverage is patchy out here in the wilds.However the thatched medieval villages, prehistoric sites and stunning snow covered counryside wiil form the basis for future stories I'm sure. We head towards Cornwall fortified by porridge and the TomTom. I don't know how we would cope without it." Michele and Kevin
