"So perhaps home isn’t about where you live, it’s about where you feel
valued… where you feel loved… and where you want to come back to".
These words were taken from the last 'blog' Jane Cacouris posted about their time in Rio.
The whole concept of 'home' has been travelling with us since we left 'our home' last September.
We've now been in 7 countries and apart from Vietnam and Cambodia where we were on a tour and in hotels, we have been in homes or rented places and 'made home' many times.
We arrived back in Delhi last Monday, and felt like we were coming 'home'! It's great to be back in our 'Asha' flat (all painted and looking nice and clean and smart - thanks Freddie) and particularly wonderful to see our friends here again - even the stall holders in our road were pleased to see us and gave us such a sense of belonging!
We are here for a few days to catch up with Asha, meet the students and celebrate with them their wonderful successes of Uni places and internships - the news of their achievements and their stories on the Asha website are totally admirable and humbling!!
We also need to repack and get ready to leave on Wednesday for Landour, Mussoorie in the foothills of the Himalayas where it will be cooler and probably wetter too!
We have a small flat there, 'Maple Annex' in the grounds of Woodstock School, which we are renting for the next couple of months. Looking on Google at where it is and what's around, we can see that we will have a great time exploring, hiking and enjoying the natural beauty and views.
There is a language school in the town, originally started by Rev Dr Samuel Kellogg to teach Hindi to the British - we' re hoping to find an intensive course to join!! HELP!!!
There could be a chance for us to teach as well - we will see what opportunities open to us.
We will also have time to think, pray, plan and prepare for our next term with Asha in September.
So today we are back 'home' in Delhi and off again to make a new 'home' in Landour ...
Love
Ken and Heather xx

| Last memories of the West coast |
 |
| A beautiful scene of the horses enjoying the sea and beach |
 |
| Sunset on Negombo beach |
 |
| I could have bought everything in this shop! |
 |
| Ideas for some art projects perhaps? |
 |
| We were warned! Sometimes the touts tell you the office has burnt down! |
 |
| Not sure what this is about. But I like it. |
 |
| We visited a mall with Eric in January and saw this 'pin craft' picture of Gandhi start. |
 |
| Yesterday we went back to the mall and it's finished! |
 |
| The tuk tuk says it again! |
 |
| Yep! |
