At the Thai temple at King’s Bromley a couple of weeks ago. I thought this would be a good image to represent Asia. Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was Asia. Felt pen drawing.

Regeneration /renaissance
Todays #bandofsketchers prompt was regeneration /renaissance. I could have done Dr Who for regeneration. But we took a friend over to the Thai Temple at King’s Bromley because it is the Thai New year. I decided to draw this Buddhistic statue as it is about regeneration in a way?
Sawadee Thai taste in Stoke.
A table full of delicious food. We just got back from Sawadee Thai taste in Stoke. We had Thai fishcakes and spare ribs for starters, then Thai green curry with fillet of Sea Bass and jasmine rice. Plus noodles with seafood (King prawns, Mussles and Squid). We really enjoyed it. Can’t say much more. At least I remembered to take photos!
Thai taste
Delightful starters, tasty mains. We really enjoyed the evening meal at the local Thai restaurant. We had Thai fishcakes and spare ribs, then I had glass noodles and seafood with mushrooms and vegetables. Hubby had a hot beef green curry and sticky rice. It was a lovely evening, with a friendly waitress. The only thing that spoiled it was I had a couple of Gin and tonics and wasn’t driving so we had to dash home on foot because it started to rain and we’ve just had a bit of thunder and lightening.
In other news I think England may have beaten someone at football, but I’m not interested. There was an awful lot of shouting as we made our way home.
Off to collect
A Thai curry.
The restaurant we go to is closed to customers inside but they are doing a takeaway service. The food is always lovely and tonight I’m collecting some papaya salad. And some lamb curry. Tasty
Thai
I took this photo of Thai figures and Buddha in the Thai restaurant we go to. They looked friendly and warm. The way they are placed in traditional dancing poses must give the owner good memories of where she came from. Dressed in beautiful clothes, with high hats. We need more variety in the world. We should not be scared of what is different, whether it’s skin colour, or sexuality or gender or size or shape or mind. These figures show that life is fascinating and fantastic should we care to share it.
Buddha
Having a good meal at the local Thai restaurant in Stoke. Sawadee Thai taste. I noticed how the Buddha there was beautifully decorated. Such a warm friendly atmosphere. I like the coloured garlands round his neck and the shiny baubles balanced on his knees. Buddhas seem to look so relaxed, calm, kind.
The food was lovely. The owner always cooks tasty meals, we really enjoyed it. This hadn’t meant to be a restaurant review..
The Buddha might get his portrait painted!!
Thai food
The restaurant where we have Thai food is friendly and interesting. Over the years we have got to know the restaurantier well and she cooks the food we like.
It’s lovely to be welcomed back and feel that we have made a friend. It has now become a situation where I won’t post on trip advisor because you are not supposed to be friends with the restaurant. Its hard not to put on a review because the food is really good, but I follow rules and don’t like breaking them.
One thing that does bother me is when people reserve a table and then don’t turn up. They don’t always ring to cancel. There have also been occasions where they order take aways then don’t collect.
Having spoken to the owner of the restaurant it does seem that some people don’t like her being there because she is foreign. I think their behaviour is wrong. She is a talented cook and she should be allowed to go about her business without having such problems.
I do feel ashamed of people in this country because we are not always fair.
