I've had a telling off

I would like to apologise for not updating our blog for some time. The reason is that we have only had internet access at home for a very short time since we arrived back from the UK. It has been really frustrating. Hopefully some of you are still checking our blog, and will read this! Recently I was given a telling off by one of my sister's friends, as they had been to visit us, and yet they didn't have a mention! So here goes Andrew....

.... It was really great to have my sister Inga and one of her friends Alice to stay with us for about a month in August. Alistair loves Inga, and is still asking about her fairly frequently. and he still talks about "Inga's room". Two lads from St. Andrews who were wanting to come to India for a "gap month" before starting University were also here at the same time, and so the 4 of them were able to do a bit of travelling together, which was nice for the girls to have some male company on the trains etc. so that they were not hassled at all by Indian men, which unfortunately can happen sometimes (although the majority of Indians are extremely helpful and hospitable to foreigners).

Unfortunately Inga et. al. have now all left, and we miss them all terribly. Andrew and Robert (the lads) were very generous with gifts, including bringing me a bottle of malt whiskey!

I would love to put some up to date photos on the blog as well, but I will need to put these onto a pendrive first. Time will not allow at present as I am at work. Andi and Sheba who work with me have been on a well deserved break this week, and so I am a little busier this week than usual, but enjoying the challenge of being "team leader" in Andi's absence. Things are running smoothly though, and Andi and Sheba are back on Monday, which is great.

Jo and I are fairly likely to return to Mussoorie soon to do some more intensive Hindi language learning, and so we would appreciate your prayers that the planning for this would go smoothly, and that we would also be able to find someone to help with babysitting while we are there, to give us the time to study.

I'll try to post again soon. Sorry once again for my absence, Adam xx

Am enjoying all of your pics from the summer and your bits and pieces of news. Don't worry about the feeling that you're not keeping your blog up - I think you're doing magnificently!!

Love, Lynn
