23 September to ....end of October?
Our 'home from home' McLeod Ganj
So this is where we are - and hoping to stay until the end of October. It is in high Himalayan India...wrong time of year for snow on the mountains but we can peek a white peak from the road.
'Upper Dharamsala' is the town where Tibetan refugees have aggregated around the Dalai Lama whose base is here - when he is not in his near-perpetual orbit.

We are incredibly fortunate to have a 'wish fulfilling' friend, Jane, who rents a couple for rooms from a nunnery here. Jane is in England at the moment and we are staying in her place. (For those who know McC-J it is down near the temple, so a quick kora before breakfast is on our doorstep)

We have been living a very quiet life, working on our respective books. We have www. access from our cushions (Kate) and sofas (David)

The weather has cleared from thick mist when we arrived >1 week ago to clear blue sky virtually dawn to dusk. Its Saturday morning now. We have just run down the road to see His Holiness arrive, back from the US; it's wonderful to watch how the Tibetans' delight in welcoming him home.
