Kudos to the dear lady, 13 km, not bad. Despite having a fridge full of food and her seasonal 'allotment' chock full of fresh veggies, our yai is always off foraging on different days of the week for mushrooms, frogs, beetles, snails, ants, eels, fish and pretty much anything that they don't have at the new Tesco-Lotus Express. It's cool season and foraging is in their DNA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our locals can find a lot more than rice in the fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybole Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I suspect she may have the beginnings of Alzheimer's disease and forgotten her way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
