That I met MAnjula and we set up a home together which we’ve now shared with hundreds from around India and the wide wide world.
Here’s the latest comments from our guests.
As you see it’s very much a communal home which constantly changes as our wonderfully diverse guests join the family.
and Manjula’s presence is still very much appreciated.
Our new star — Kaveri— really connects with our guests.
Kaveri has been with us for Christmas week.
She had a holiday from school on Christmas day itself.
Opening presents and playing games
Fun with the dogs
We all enjoyed meeting our guests from Germany and had a visit from Radhika
Kaveri created a windmill as a project for school.
Well done Kaveri and it was wonderful to have you stay for the week.
I’ll miss you.
Has been fun as usual.
Kaveri visits alternate weeks
Guests to Mysore and Srirangapatnam — holidaying and touring
Some taking souvenirs
Some reminding us of past times and my beautiful
Plus the terrors getting bigger by the day ..
and as we approach Christmas itself (when Kaveri gets a paltry one day holiday) our lovely German families start the festivities a day early 🤭
But who is he?
and what’s it all about?
Wishing you
.. a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
And us ….
We are so fortunate to be able to share our home with wonderful people
Homestay and BnB means such different things to different people. Ours is a shared home and not a commercial set up — plus of course we have mycycle tours — the second city cycle tours to be set up in India.
We continue to provide insights and adventures from all sorts of perspectives initially from a beautiful wife, Manjula plus a pale, stale firangi (me). We now also have Kaveri, age 11 who has plenty to say, Sowbaghya who’s helped hold me and the place together for over five years, Billet-Doux (aka sweet letter) our cat sent by Manjula and the two barky monsters (following on from the other irreplaceable — Lucie): Luca and Gingee.
..
It’s a real place and that’s partly why people come again and again. Since 2011 we’ve had thousands of guests from around the world.
Just this last week we’ve had guests from India, Australia, Germany, Netherlands and U.K.
Richard, (with Rhonda) from Australia, first came over twelve years ago
and shared photos from his meeting with MAnjula —- our sunshine.
who’d have thought it?
It’s been wonderful living, with my gorgeous wife and after her spirit moved on we’ve continued to share …
So what’s next?
