Tryst with nature Posted on August 7, 2007August 7, 2007 If I write a book, I’d like to do it in a quiet place like this one. Sitting outside a cottage, looking over a beautiful mist covered valley. Watching the rolling hills and catching a glimpse of a shimmering lake in the distance. Enjoying a hot cup of coffee and the company of Deku (the cute dog we adopted for the weekend). It was an outing with the girls and four of us set off to spend some time at this off-the-beaten-track village in Tamil Nadu. It was magical.

And you definitely don’t want to see it teeming with truck loads of loud touristy families with a bunch of badly behaved children. No… this is one place that will go un-named. Just a few pictures to capture it’s beauty. Some places, I feel, are best left un-discovered!

Architecture & Heritage Albi Chronicles: A tram ride to remember Posted on June 24, 2018June 24, 2018 As the noisy white tram clattered through the narrow cobbled streets, I am filled with wonder at the navigation skills of the driver of this rather clunky long vehicle. He’s doing very well and considering the train runs around 5-6 times a day, he can probably do this in his… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
