Nepal countdown...

A combination of excitement & anxiety is how I'm feeling. Just 24 hours until departure!

Let's go fly a kite...

Mary Poppins, I love Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins is a great role model. I'm going to take her philosophy, her individuality & sincerity, her sense of fun, her kindness, her musicality & her imagination, along with me & share with the children of Nepal. This is a turning point for me. It's exciting & scary. But I believe a Volunteer Project is the right step forward & I plan to immerse myself in the culture. To spend some time in this charming country & be in the presence & beauty of the Himalayas will be a life changing experience, I have no doubt.
 Must take the Nikon & the walking boots. Three weeks today...

February Full Moon

Another opportunity to make a wish...

A very long day

'Trains & boats & planes go passing by...' Goes the song I believe. My 12 hours of travelling today was minus the boats - and with lots of waiting around, but finally I've arrived safely back in the UK.

So now I must get this blog up & running by starting with some favourite photos. My task for tomorrow I think.

Hurricane Svea

Ah, that explains the fierce winds!

One more day here in the beautiful countryside & then I must return. A full day of travelling will give me pause for thought.

An incredibly windy night

I can't sleep.

So, the party is over & slowly we must re-adjust. The snow has come & gone & a strong wind now persists. Some of our Swedish family have already returned to the UK. I shall follow shortly.
The new Nikon camera awaits my focus! Very exciting.

It's so noisy tonight - but I must sleep!

New Year 2015

5 minutes to go...
