Oh boy. What a wonderful week that was! We got to Siem Reap about nine days ago and it was on our second venture out that we stumbled upon Rosy Guesthouse, run by a lovely couple, Simon, originally from Norwich and his good lady Rachel from Peterborough. Both were in the throes of making a giant papier mâché spider for a Halloween themed evening a few days later.
Anyway, we booked in and a week later, no one in this Leith family really wanted to leave. Pool table and movie shows next to the bar area,Simon's excellent music collection playing from breakfast till the last man standing, dvd player in our room and a vast collection of movies and tv series we could help ourselves to(yes!Doctor Who complete series 1 to 4!! A beautiful dog called Pickles, Branston, one of two cats, the other being Tripod who lost one of her legs when she was a day old ...and then there was Ella, their lovely daughter of 18 months.
The staff were just brilliant ("would you like one more beer?), the food was great and now I sound like I'm plugging this thing but they really have got it just right.Really helpful when you need it, never in your face, Home from Home. Missing it already!
On the bus trip out here to Battambang I was seriously considering that if I was single, had no children or family back in England and no friends to miss,I could up and come out here to live with all these wonderful people and things out here. But actually, think I'm still going to move to Norwich and buy a big Dalek.
