On the road again



The flags are out, I'm off to India for a whole month.   I received an invite I could not refuse - to a Mela (festival) in Kutch, western Gujarat.  An exhibition of stitching, with camel cart rides, and hands on workshops to mention but a few items on the agenda.  It is going to be wonderful, 
can't wait.    Check out www.kala-raksha.org for more details.

And so to the blog - well it seems a good idea!   I can share my photos and give you a glimpse
 of village life in a remote corner of India.  All this is dependent upon finding an internet connection. Yes, they do have them, but it is so slow - makes you realise how lucky we are.   Then, quite often the connection just goes down - probably camels.   I will post as and when 
I can - keep checking!

Brilliant, Tiggy!!!
I like the heading backcloth - you'll have to teach me how to do that now. And lovely pix. I do prefer the large siz. Although they can be enlarged by clicking on them I find the smaller sizes hard to see. Great pic of camel's backside.Well i was admiring the fringes really on the stuff in its back. And those flags are such superb colours.

Oh! Looking forward to this. Maybe if you can't 'post as you go' you could blog it when you get back. Lots of textile pics please!
