First move.
Into the new house.
Shifting Manjula’s library to our new house. The team were fab.
Manjula loved the joke
After acknowledging a job well done —— we realised the light switch was trapped behind the shelves.
Celebrating later at home.
Factoid
We opened Manjula’s library after her spirit left for its search.
She’d joked that my constantly bringing books home would lead to her setting up the house as a library when I stop guiding tours at age 75.
So as we never reached there together I set it up in her memory
And now it’s the first bit to establish itself at the new house.
Today : cycle tour, dogs, hanging out
After getting up at 4am to try and sort out the new house agreement, I had fun with the Brits (Charles and Rosie) on a cycle tour, hung out with Luka and Gingee in the drive, and Satish kindly rode my Enfield to be fixed.
I’m beginning to wonder if the first bike accident (a twit coming towards me on the wrong side of the road and round a corner on the ring road! ) — was exacerbated by my tiredness from lack of sleep.
That’s why I was — this and most mornings — awake before four.
The dogs need more contact time and to learn how to behave outside their yard. So we’re bonding and I’m watching carefully (occasionally bossing them) so they don’t chew everything in reach.
Busy first day of February
An annual treat which passes through our community.
First stages of moving house after Florian came round to help plan.
Kaveri combining the Indian love of noodles and everything K.
Maïlis and Sowbaghya followed up Maria’s Italian treat with more delicious pasta and fab salad.
Yesterday we visited Radhika and her new baby in hospital. I’m not allowed to post photos but mum and baby are doing great.
Critical and Essential
For those who really know me … I can bore for England on all sorts of subjects.
In my view this story of the economic and social orthodoxy that we live under and affects every aspect of our lives is critical reading.
Many will have heard me going on about it.
The individualism and competitive-ism we mistakenly believe is our default setting is wrong.
We can choose to see humans as cooperative and get ourselves out of the mess we’ve been tricked into…
Strongly recommended.
Lucie’s death anniversary.
We remembered MAnjula and Lucie today in the field where we buried Lucie.
Wonderful that guests Maïlis (who was there helping support Lucie on her last day) and Maria and Ani were with us.
Also our loyal team members Satish, Akram and all put together by Sowbaghya.
And then there were dogs waiting to pounce …
Umesh has set it up as
Bow Wow pet resort and cemetery
a place for dogs to go holiday while we go on ours … plus somewhere to bury our pets, and a final resting place for dogs found on the roadside.

Students thriving through their art.

Rajesh Madhava has spent over a year working with the students on a range of projects.
Their confidence and communication improving dramatically.
Fantastic!
Missing her friends and this great teaching. Well done to all the students and their teacher/facilitator Rajesh Madhava
honey puppy wants a home
. ….
Friendly lovely honey puppy looking for a home.
We’re regretfully looking for a new home for Gingee and we’ll be very sad for her to go.
It was a mistake to adopt two dogs (Stephen’s idea!). It’s too much for us as well as our business (BnB and cycle tours) and looking after Kaveri.
Gingee is a great character. She’s had all her jabs (inoculations) and comes complete with lead, collar, bed and additional vet fees to sterilise her.
We’re in Siddarthanagar at Mysore Bed and Breakfast.
Do come and meet her and see if she can join your family. All injections are completed, with collar, lead and bed. Plus some food and vets bills covered. We’re in siddarthanagar in Mysore
Juggling the duties has proven too much. We can manage one!!
Luca we’re keeping as he’s the image of my lovely Lucie who died last year.
Gingee is a honey colour.
New Year’s Day
Thank you Hema for arranging the young generation to join me on a mycycle tour.
Hema has already joined both a Srirangapatnam and Mysore Tour. I obviously hadn’t messed up as she returned with more of the family.
Fab!
Great to meet and spend time together … Harsh, Mitali and
Joshua.
A lovely mix of US and India
