It is now time for a new adventure. This time I have decided to raise money for Willen Hospice in Milton Keynes. The plan is to ride 2,500km through the Western Ghats of India, starting in Goa, and ridding through Karnataca, Kerala and Tamal Nardu. We will be steering clear of main roads and using local trails as far as possible and hope to find some unusual off the beaten track places.

Photo permissions request
Hello, I am a photo researcher working on a Grade 7 Science unit on Silk and Sericulture for the Ross School in East Hampton, New York. We would like to use your image of the cocoons added to boiling water for an online, classroom Powerpoint presentation. Can you please advise if you can grant permission to use/license this image? Today is Sunday, June 16 and the project is closing so a reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ede ederothaus@gmail.com
