Leaving in stages

---

I no longer have a mobile phone, so, the best way to get in touch with me from now on will be via e-mail.
There have already been several farewell diners and I have commited to cook for the next few days too (heavens help us all). It has been busy in so many ways, so a full day with the boys and teachers without school was great on Sunday. We started with breakfast at 8 all together, went on through this and that , lunch and than picnic by the river with more monks from the Gonpa joining in. Finally we ended with a special dinner and good-nights in the dorm...
There are so many things that have happened here, so many beautifull people, so many precious blessings...but I am starting to wrap up at school and turn to Dharamsala and UK. Touch down folks! Let me know how you're doing...ey?

Last few days should be fun...
The youngest classes are usually my biggest challenge...but here, the sound of perfect hushed humming and focus was deligthfull.

Hi from Chris
Irena baby great to read your blog. Sounds as though you are having a life changing experience. When are you due back in the UK? The Xmas party is on December 14th and we miss your whirling dervish like prescence and your wonderful hair. Lots of love Chris

coming home
Glad to know you're starting on your way home and I'm sure you've enriched the lives of those little boys as they have yours. We start rehearsals for the Barnes charity players panto this evening so maybe you'll be back for that. I just got back from a week on the Amalfi coast of Italy, which was heavenly. My lodger Helen leaves in early Nov if you are looking for a place to stay and you know you'd be welcome. Love and huggggggss, Robinxx

Migration
Kia ora Irena, I am a step further in my migration. After a bit more than two month in Australia now in home country Germany to pack up my gear to go back to New Zealand (permanently ?!). It is great to be able to share some of your colourful experiences and I wished I could contribute more than my admiration for other cultures. I guess I will in a while... Have a lovely time and travel safely, big hug Katharina P.S: Treasuring your stone from the Esperanza beach.
