.. to create a great evening.
This time to say farewell to Maïlis.
For two years running Maïlis has been our lovely guest. She is at risk of becoming ‘part of the furniture’. In a nice way obviously.
Florian can be relied upon ..
A new chapter
Dear friends
I’m unexpectedly out of India from late August through to the end of December. I’ll use it to travel in the UK (maybe Europe) and then an opportunity to explore further east of India.
So be afraid, there may be a knock on your door. 🫣🤭
Joking apart this is an opportunity to visit old and new friends.
Please do let me have your ideas. I’ve already thankfully received a few invites and suggestions. It’s a great opportunity leading into my big 7-0 I’ll use http://www.meandmycycle.com to explain more of this situation and share my travels and plans.
I hope to see some of you over the next few months.
Peas and Love
Stephen.

The little one has disappeared.
Kaveri has just left for school
Others are keeping up the good work but — will they flower before I have to leave the country?
Manjula’s favourite
Together with her roses
It was always fun in July anticipating the day it would bloom
There would be a build up over a week trying to guess which one evening we would leave the house to be hit by its amazing aroma which drew us to the beautiful one-night-only complexity.
Please sir, I can’t leave before Manjula’s favourite flower blossoms. More later on this epic story
Meanwhile SB leaves for a court. — a different one.
Our new home… where we’ve brought twenty years of memories.
Our memory wall
Our portraits of MAnjula.

Typical weekend.
Florian reaches 50, young and very young people visit the library, go shopping and share lunch.
A relief from Bangalore… ?
I expect it is a relief to escape the traffic.
Ashish came on one of his timely (they always are) visits. He’s a best example of how friends introduce us to new friends, originally brought to us by Anna, this time he kindly introduces to another new friend — Nesan
It’s one of the great benefits of sharing our home.
As usual laden with gifts and treating us all. He stocks us up with an incredible range of goodies.
Luka was overcome with excitement,
After our visit to the Nursery for garden additions.
We joke about getting away from Bangalore but we all value the change, so perhaps it’s time for a holiday once the court thing is resolved.
Fact is the traffic is getting too much in Mysore!

Spot the odd one’s out
