She is a gentle woman of great kindness and devotion. Love and inner peace just shine out from her..

She’s an angel!
This was the third consecutive Christmas I’ve been fortunate enough to spend with Robin’s family. I am very careful not to hint, ask or assume that I’ll be a regular invitee, but his mother always treats me as a valued family friend and guest of honour. It is honestly quite humbling..
The canoe trip was something I have done once before with Robin’s brothers and nephews, but adding it to the Christmas celebrations was an act of pure genius!

Yes, you’re right. But if I’m honest the whole of my time in India has been a blessing beyond compare..
