Well dear reader yesterday we arrived safely at the Diggi Palace from Agra via Fatephur Shkri. Before I go any further I need to say this blog is being created on a very dodgy key board. There may be some surprises on the way...let's just say Indian magic. There also seems to be a memory problem and as for loading photos - well that may not be possible!!!! On the subject of photos - the planets were not aligned yesterday and the heavens parted when TG Bernadette realised she had lost all her photos to date on the trip...um....but then she looked out the window and saw the local people getting on with life and thought this is not such a big deal particularly when TG Sue has been on the photo taking wagon.
As I was saying we are here at the mighty Diggi in sunny but very cold weather. Lots of shawls being thrown around. It's hard to describe what an oasis is the Diggi. TG Bernadette joined the shopping expedition this morning - had fun for one shop ( TG Sue commented that TG Bernadette was holding up well in the shopping stakes - now that is SOME complement. It was about then that TG Bernadette came to the conclusion that it was time to shanti shanti (chill) at the Diggi. Afterall I had purchased two items
We have met many of the other participants (Mostly Diggi workshop groupies) and everybody is really excited about the pending workshops. Cooking has been given a big rap!! I think it is the non cooking persons cooking workshop...yippee. TG Sue and TG Kate have been discussing the minutiae of this craft and that craft with the regulars...a joy to behold.
I could go on - but the key board is seriously unwell. Perhaps it doesn't like the cold.
I am going to TRY to upload some photos of the hard working, living hard, beautiful local people - but if no photos appear you know !ncredible !ndia has exercised her will.
Plans a being made to see a polo match tomorrow (Sunday) and maybe even the Ridhi Sidhi markets where local people make smaller items from recycled sari - now that is a sensible move and slightly more sensible shopping.
We are all well and "It's all good"
