Luckily it occurred to me to check my flight itinerary in between skype calls with friends in the US last night...because I am leaving for India a day earlier than I thought. All's well that ends well, being at the Jevon's for a night, Mummy very sweetly,took me to my hotel at Heathrow Airport, Helena and I said farewell in the wee hours of the morning as she is off to Kent for appointments this week.

Today we had a very relaxing restful morning and early afternoon with, meditation and nice conversation. Then headed out for Tapa's...a first for me, I know it just means appetizers in Spanish, made the mistake of ordering a 1/2 pitcher of Sangria...which was very good, just couldn't finish it as Mark had too much Sake the night before. After we decided to see an off-Broadway play Miss Abigail's ... read more
