We’re almost moved in — well sufficiently to welcome our new guests.
Kurt and Loe from Belgium, the very first guests and returners, having first visited us a few years ago. How cool is that? Complete with a soon-to-be new family member.
Luca, a ‘warm showers’ guest, has reached the final stage of his fund-raising cycle ride for a school in Bangalore.
and another chapter for our family community.
We’ve been here a week.
and visited Depth and Green
Nearly everyday. My fave drink is Beetroot, ginger lemonade and we all like the veggie burger, pasta, pizza and apple pie! When they’re available.
But very sorry to let Gingee go …
Two young dogs had proven too much.
And Kaveri set out on a ‘new foot’ with a bath for Lucca
Breakfast is ready.
We’re on a slow start with Kurt and Loe returning to visit from Belgium (with a third member of family) our very first guests.
Last evening we even had games night.
Thanks for helping relaunch us.
…
Manjula and Lucie in their varied forms are beginning to settle into their new home. Dragonfly and pennants are already here with a dramatic new episode to their story.
More later.
No not this one …. (See footnote for notes about the photo) …
I mean … today’s team.
For the third Sunday in a row … Naveen, Deepak, Akram, Farak, Sowbaghya, and the team leader: Florian have been shifting parcels and furniture to the new house.
Thanks to our great team we’re getting ready take over the new house by the end of March
Foot factoid
But what about that photograph from the early 90s?
This is part of our team when Jill and I managed Disability Services in Kirklees in Yorkshire, in the early 90s.
It’s an example of our fearless coordinators.
They came to work in shorts to do the can-can, suggesting that I was pushing rules to the limit by wearing my shorts to work. Great that they were confident to take the piss out of their boss.
We did work on creating an inclusive culture.
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.
