Following a childhood and working life spent entirely in England, my retirement was unexpectedly premature.
Rather than sitting at home wondering what to do, I decided to relocate
- to India.
This has resulted in daily delight, surprise and sometimes bewilderment.
My blog is a diary of life on the Malabar coast. It is intended for friends and family:
An invitation to take the occasional glimpse at what preoccupies or intrigues me.

Simple’s my speciality!
But seriously, thank you. I really appreciate your kind comment.
