More puppies
One the way home from Gulmarg we picked up some puppies from the side of the road and brought them home – no, really. The family had been wanting a male mountain dog for the summer, and the army were … Continue reading
Srinagar
On the way home, we drove through Srinagar – to the detriment of Uncle R’s important business meeting. Still, we really appreciated being able to see the city and to see some of the famous sites like the influential mosques … Continue reading
Snowerella the Snowman
Ben and I have never seen so much snow in our lives. It was SO deep and SO amazing – so we had to build a snowman, especially having seen all the pics of Brits making snowmen during your “snow … Continue reading
Gulmarg Gondola – the highest cable car in the world
Apparently, that's what the J&K Tourist Board claim anyway. Ben and I took the youngest two kids up there and we had great fun. The kids and I rolled down the hill – boring Uncle Ben just stood on the … Continue reading

Horse riding
No we didn't ride them! The family that we're staying with have 2 horses that they hope to train up for pony-trekking. Despite the kids' keenness for us to have a go, we declined. They need a bit more training first! One nearly kicked me … Continue reading
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ben teaching N (1) Ben and I say this every half hour on school days. For the past couple of weeks, we've been helping the kids with their homeschooling. They'd ended up not sticking to their old timetable, so we … Continue reading
Feeding the kid
Feeding Rani the goat is the job of the kids in the family. But when they get up late and don't do it before school…Ben and I get to feed the goat kid. She really is very cute and Ben … Continue reading
