Wanted to post a new message with pics in another thread to no avail...

"Uploading impossible" they said... for some reason I expect...

 

A lot of fun here!

:cheesy:

 

 

Can you try Copy/Paste or Flickr as a temporary way around it.

Hi Ron,

I'm happy to let you know everything is back to normal for me :thumbsup:

Thanks for your commitments, Ron and Jimmy!

Casava ... preparing for planting...

 

I was actually amazed how much of this we saw growing, on the trip I gather the roots used for some kind of flour?

As some of you may have noticed many older images are missing.... Apparently when the new format has finished they will all be reinstalled.... (we hope!) It can be done by hand, one at a time, but more than any of us are prepared to do! So let's hope it all comes back to life again,

 

It affects the Local forums, where I know some of you contribute images and probably Farm Photos too ... Let's just bare with things and see what comes out in the wash!!! 

 

Jim and Ron!

Sorry to make you homesick Shaggy.... :P That was one of many meals, I am not at all partial to much of it....

 

Glad I took cornflakes and milk  for breakfast.... cheese and bread and other "western goodies" in the ice box! 

 

Not sorted all images yet, but frogs and other ...ermmm Isaan delicacies to come...;)

At least a floor mat for this meal .....
