Life in Landour continues with monkeys, rain, Hindi learning and the realisation that this is a very special time of preparation and a moment of peace and 'space' before our next 3 months of an exciting new programme of work with Asha and reconnecting again with students we taught last September.
Monday was Independence Day - celebrated at the Language school with our teachers and other students with the raising of the Indian flag, singing the National Anthem together, listening to speeches, and then sharing samosas, cakes and very sticky, sweet Gulab Jammon with delicious chai masala.
There have been beautiful sunny days (great for trying to get washing dry) and also moments where the rain has just fallen from the sky flooding roads and washing paths away - in seconds, waterfalls appear and rain pours down the hills! But with the clearing of the mist there have been stunning views of the snowy capped Himalayas.

| Making our way back up what should be, a ONE WAY hill, with loads of traffic in every direction doing the same..... |

| Clouds swirl up covering the village |
