Here I am with my new family and a new culture, they only moved to Chennai 5 years ago, and I'm told every 200 miles you'll find a new way of living. We had an great evening meal, with three generations sat round the table, and a beetroot dish that was amazing.
This morning i did a short talk at a Rotary Club, followed by the wedding, then this evening I visited a small village to meet a group that are campaigning to 'save the beaches'.
Those following will have seen the comments on my new shoes, in all fairness I did not realise they were not mine until after doing a short walk and thinking to myself our much more comfort I had when walking, as before the wedding I had been sporting a £10 pair of Tesco's finest plastic shoes and now walking in style with a brand new pair of Hush Puppies. I did have a brief look to see if mine were still there - they had gone! (so it was not my fault).
Yet again we have had major issues with James, Day 1 he presented the team to the district by pointing his rear end to the crowd for 5 minutes. Botanical garden visit - he was told off for standing on a wall -so he decided to jump off that and walk over the grass, then got whistled at by yet another security guard for walking on the grass. Temple visit - he took a photograph at a temple seconds after being told he was not allowed to. Hindu charity exhibition, again told off for incorrectly addressing a woman. Then today at the wedding he met the wedding party with his shoes on, which was naughty, then again came the illegal photography. Part from all that he is a fantastic leader and friend to all of us and Rotary District 1220 could not have provided us with anyone better.
Bed time
