Since returning from India on my yogic experience I have been searching for vegetarian meals to tempt my carnivorous husband and picked up Gordon Ramsey's Ultimate Cookery Course. Mike loves rostis and fried eggs so I was convinced that this one was going to be a winner. "Do you fancy this for...

We knew that the journey home was always going to be a long one and it started off well as, contrary to my fears, I managed to close the suitcases and the taxi was on time!
The journey to the airport was unremarkable as we had now got used to the manic Indian driving experience. The airport,...

Stop the train ... I want to get off

We have been here for 19 days now and as I have already mentioned the schedule is demanding. Morning class starts at 6am and we take it in turns setting up the room.

Here I am on a trip of a life-time with my son. I was so happy that he agreed to come with me to share the experience and I am hopeful that he will learn a lot of things that stand him in good stead for the future. He found the first week rather tough. It has been challenging getting up at 5.30...
