It's been a long time!

I think that my last blog was when I was in Munnar, a wonderful tea plantation area in Kerala and since then I have done so much. I will fill you in as succinctly as possible and bring you up to date.

In Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu I worked for a foundation and ashram who are attempting, and are on their way to succeeding, in putting a school in every rural village of Tamil Nadu. My job was to train a group of teachers in how to run a school library. It was completely back to basics, but the teachers were wonderful and I enjoyed every minute of it.

At first I was sharing a room with three others, which was a first and one I wasn’t that happy about, but the girls were great and I really enjoyed their company.

Unfortunately I also got a very bad case of food poisoning, which I shall not go into in detail. Suffice to say then the bathroom became my dearest friend and my bed my constant companion for 3 days.
Although I enjoyed working with the teachers I didn’t agree with the yogic philosophy there, it was also getting hotter and hotter by the day so decided to move on.

Next installment coming up.
