India is calling … bye for now

India is calling … bye for now

I’m quite happy to see the old year fade into the past – it didn’t end on the best note it might have – and I’m going off for a few weeks to think about my options for the future.

My destination is our bolt-hole in Goa, which has been neglected for too long, and I’m looking forward to over-indulging in sunshine, curry, and meditation.

There’s so much to see and do in the sunshine and the food is simply amazing.

I love the way everything stops when a cow makes an enttrance. I have a video showing one of the revered beasts who comes to the same cafe at the same time every night and is given a cabbage or two.

At other times (including rush hours) traffic grinds to a halt if one of the beasts decides to have a nap on the road!

It’s along way to travel, but it’s worth it – so a happy New Year and a prosperous 2024 to you all.
