The Twelve Days of Christmas Shelley 

On the first day of Shelley, 

the airport gave to me
a mate with a need to flee

Highlight of the week Shelley came to visit 

On the second day of Shelley, 
the market called we three,
why don’t we take a look see

Maloop Market

On the third day of Shelley,

The palace gave to us,

day and night views as a plus

Moody skies and the Palace lights 

On the fourth day of Shelley, 
Siem Reap was a good bet
With cheers, laughs and a head set 

Thanks Miss Wong

On the fifth day of Shelley, 

Angkor was a must do, 

her ‘amazing’ solo day too

Banteay Srei- The Women’s Temple 

On the sixth day of Shelley, 
rats, spa and circus play 
marked the finish of our stay

Phare Selpak you never disappoint

On the seventh day of Shelley, 
we were inside a car 
with views - we could travel far

rural scenes …… no magazines 

On the eighth day of Shelley, 
museums turned the tide 

from palace to genocide

You can’t not want to know  ….. 

but it’s very, very grim

On the ninth day of Shelley,

we wandered on the street  

and saw opera as a treat

Along with almost every expat we know 

we attended Madam Butterfly 

On the tenth day of Shelley,
the time was almost gone  
but celebrations were on 

Barry’s beautifully bountiful birthday-bash

On the eleventh day of Shelley, 
Indulgence was the go
-also time to just go slow 

night lights of PP

On the Twelfth day of Shelley, 
was time to say goodbye
Safe travel as you fly 

The last delicious meal 

was in a fabulous new to us cafe 

with a Shinrin Yoku vibe

Farewell and thanks for the good times.

 You all come back now, 

you hear
