1 Sometime ago we gave away some brass wire through Free-cycle and today, one of the people who had some, sent me an email to tell me what she has done with it. She has made these very pretty Feeding Bugs! Please click on the symbol if the bugs aren’t showing.

2 We have Skyped with Daniel and Ami in Barcelona, so lovely to talk to them and see them again. We’ve missed them while we’ve been away.
3 I’ve been sorting our holiday photos and have put together a gallery of photos that we took at the Taj Mahal. You can click on any photo for an enlargement.

Thanks for lovely pictures, Sally. The Taj really exceeds expectations, doesn’t it? It lives up to and exceeds the hype. You really have to experience it for yourself.

Absolutely! I feel so lucky to have been able to be there. I had wondered if it might not meet my expectations but it did – and more, much more! 🙂

Welcome back to blogdom.
Your Taj Mahal seemed a tad busy that day; I guess escaping crowds in Indian is next to impossible. I remember seeing a photograph some time ago, it was taken in the early morning hours, of man mowing the lawn with a team of ox (I assume) pulling the mower. The colour of the stone, is not what I expected. What is also interesting is the air, looks as if you could cut it with a knife.
