Well not really
I have flown a chipmunk trainer and glider in my teens. I can tell you … Cycling can’t match it.
Nor is it like swimming
But IT IS liberating.
It’s one of our best ways to adventure and get us moving.
And it’s cheap!
On MAnjula’s death anniversary, we came up with a great idea to celebrate her— even more — by going on holiday to one of her favourite places.
Kannur is where Manjula and I first went on holiday together after our engagement in 2015.
It’ll be a great adventure with MAnjula giggling from the antics of the loosely formed team.
It’s a challenge, anywhere, to bring together fragments of four families with two additions of an Englishman and his dog but this is India. It’ll be OK.
It’s a great way to thank Sowbaghya, Tanuja and Satish for the help they’ve been in so many ways, including setting up the new business.
It’s also an opportunity to spend fun time with Kaveri and her young auntie Rhadika.
We’ve got the go ahead from Kaveri’s mum, Satish has worked it out with the school and Jo will definitely have completed her term.
So we’re good to go…
Wonderful
So which amazing place is going to host this motley crew?
I wake alongside a babbling brook. It’s early and I can hear the trickling of the stream alongside my head. I quickly orientate myself. We must be camping although surely that’s planned for a few weeks later at the WOMAD festival.
It’s Poppy!
we’re staying at my eldest son and his partner Alice’s, who are my granddaughters mum and dad and therefore personal assistants.
Poppy has brought her potty to the living room alongside the futon (I.e. close to the floor) just to the side of my head to have her early morning pee 😉
So that’s me up, empty the potty, wash it out, welcome to Poppy’s world.
manjula manages to sneak a couple of extra hours sleep, her legs are aching after all the walking…..
by now Poppy is an animal! 😉
