31st October – Leaving Kathmandu, Young Mother and Sunset Over Europe

1 Leaving Kathmandu for Delhi very early in the morning, as people are going to work and the sun is coming up through the trees.

People off to work very early

Another lovely person willing to talk to me and happy to have her photo taken

3 As we flew West for eight and a half hours we were flying into the sunset for such a long time. The colours were so intense and so beautiful.

Sunset over Northern Europe, the colour being caught in our vapour trail

And a 4th today – being met by our beautiful daughter.

20th October – School Slogan, Peacocks on Pylons and Royal Dining

24 Oct

1. There were lots of school parties visiting Humayun’s Tomb. On the back of the polo shirts the Indian youngsters were wearing were the words ” Learn Work Play Think Live” which I think are brilliant words!

2. As we were on the five hour drive from Delhi to Agra, we went though miles and miles of similar countryside. We were delighted to see so many peacocks, many of them perching on pylons. Mr S was lucky enough to see one flying!

3. Dinner tonight was Royal Dining! There were 10 small dishes to share, (we chose the vegetarian option) each absolutely delicious – indeed, a mouth watering feast.

19th October – Warmth, Friendliness and Magic

24 Oct

1. The warmth of the sun as we stepped off the plane in Delhi at 8.30 local time.

2. The warmth and friendliness of the people, so many smiling and greeting us and wanting to take my photo. We think possibly they find blonde curls interesting! They were really pleased that we wanted to take their photos too.

3. A wonderful meal in the Indian restaurant in the hotel. My dish was beautifully flavoured without heat. Mr S chose something spicier but it was very hot. The lovely chef came out and took the dish away, did some magic on it and it came back perfectly spiced. The waiter gave Mr S a magic something to sip which immediately took the heat out of his mouth!
