Stories of sewing, food and even more food…
So today started at Raj’s home, and from there went to a dress-tailoring studio. Kirsty, Stacey and Laura were presented with their own Indian hand-made dresses, leaving us lads out the picture… literally!
Very swish!!!
So while they were looking all prettyful, Iain, Minty and I took photos and ate some Madeira cake and some mini doughnut-like snacks – which turned out to have bits of almond on top… but I’m still alive so it’s all gravy, baby! =]
Thereafter, Raj took us to a small restaurant in town for some lunch. I stuck with my usual rice, while everyone else got stuck into some proper Indian cuisine, however i was sort of adventurous and had some soup, but it was unbelievably sweet. I think it was made with condensed milk or something, but after half the bowl I couldn’t finish it without worrying I was going to throw up. so Iain quite happily demolished the rest of it. And the entertainers (or entertainer) even played some british music into the restaurant for us…Shame it was Aqua! >_<
So we followed that up with some ice cream from Baskin Robbins. YUMMY!
… And that was followed by shopping at a nearby supermarket for even more food – for the train trip to Dundigal on Saturday. So we’re fairly stocked up for cola, Pringles, chocolate and such junk.
So now we’re on the bus to John’s crib… the gentleman we met last night from Mount Zion church. He’s more than delighted to have us for dinner, even though we all seem pretty full, only having lunch a few hours ago.
And finally… I still don’t have a camcorder charger. Eek!
So comments and love greatly appreciated.
Cheers m’dears,
Owen x

Girls, you all look fab and really happy. All of the group are all having new amazing, life changing, experiences every day, including Owen!! I hope all goes well at the Sangita Orphanage tomorrow. Thinking of you all.
Carol :0)
Looking good Laura, glad you are enjoying the experience! I’m still working hard here in rainy Scotland but finding time to keep up to date with your adventure…
David, standing at that door in Tamfourhill a few weeks ago must seem lightyears away!!
Oh my god cannot believe that you waited to try almonds when you were in India could you not have tried them at home. You all seem to be having a good time out there. How much longer do you think the battery will last without a charger, hope you get one soon if not I think you might be able to get one in Bo’ness!!
Enjoy
Hi all, I’m really enjoying all your messages. Iain’s gone quiet?? Mega rain here and I’m decorating my bedroom, so I thought I’d have a break and read your news. I can’t believe it’s the 1st of August and you have been away almost a week!
Love Carol xx
Hi Carol.
Iain’s not quiet, he’s just asleep. He’s been up till stupid hour every night =P
I’ll get him to write a blog tomorrow =]
Owen, Stacey, Lilias, David, Laura and Minty x
Iain up until very late at night? Surely not! Ha Ha
Girls looking great. Hope Owen and Iain are feeling better soon.
Looking good! Hope you enjoy your trip to Dindigul - the train ride is an experience in itself! Don’t eat any food offered from strangers! I’m sure Captain Thacker has already given this warning - I got into big trouble last year. It will be a really spiritual experience in Dindigul - to me it was like entering the Garden of Eden - very peaceful and beautiful. Sorry we cannot be with you to see the new clinic in operation. Please give our love to Abraham. Ruth, Benjamin, Daniel, Rose and the two wee ones.
Take care
Love
Martha and Albert
Owen,
Trust these girls to go shopping for the clothes. You guys need to get yourselves some nice Indian shirts.
