Wayside Farewell

---

Strikes can be useful. We spent the day walking around Kurseong, down to the rock garden and no work for anyone! Great!

I will upload some old photos of Wayside for this entry upon returning home. Meanwhile I tried to recreate the similar locations taken when Mummy was a young girl. We included the whole family, and in a neat full circle Sneha, Mingi and Subhash's daughter, is off to St Helen's in January. Mingi explained that this was the first time that local people were allowed to send their children there and the little darling had to undergo a test and an interview before she was accepted. Decreasing enrollment had initiated this change - would a Sherpa now be the next headgirl too?

We wish you well, we hope to be back one day!

Saying farewell
A day early

All the girls
Three generations

A lingering look
Back up the valley

and again!
Will we ever return?
