Well it's time I wrote my final blog to end the story of our time in India. At the moment I'm looking out onto a rainy grey Welsh day which is a massive contrast to the sunshine and beaches we were recently enjoying! But real life had to start at some point and it's now time to move on to the next stage. Having spent all that time in India…

Welcome to my first ever blog! Come with us on a journey whilst Matt and I put of being grownups for 5 more weeks and go do the hippy-student traveller bit. Hopefully be bringing you some words and pictures, depending on the availability of web cafes and if we buy a camera at Heathrow. I don't know what else to say for now...

As the Goa Police hate tourists they only allow music until 10pm at night. Bars that want to stay open longer either have to bribe the Police or run the risk of having their party stopped and …

Bron Wow, we've been busy recently. As you can see from the photos Matt's just uploaded we've now got the canvas roof and the silk lining up, plus a concrete floor and electric cables. The floor is going to get a coat of rusty red paint (trad Indian style) and the lights and fans have still to be wired in. The carpenters have made half the tables and Lalsingh the chef has enough tupperware to keep even Nigella happy. I'm still hurridly formatting menus so they can be professionally printed so I have LCD burns on my eyeballs and blisters on my fingers!!! One final push and we'll be open....

mum We have arrived back in Cedar Close this afternoon after a flight which was delayed by threee hours due to the plane having to be de-iced before take off. Just had a quick look at your site to check on your progress, love the sari. Yes I did have two hunks who took me skiing three times, faster and steeper every time. I can claim I was the only one lying down on the ski runs! Thoroughly enjoyed being strapped to a hunk from UK Also went on skidoo run with dad and Stephan. Baby Logan is georgeous. The house is carpeted, and the bathroom upstairs is working. All it needs now is a Glenis things here and there to make it our own and I will enjoy putting up the xmas tree , unless I wait for Beth next week. Love to you both mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bron Alas, we don't have a microwave. We've got an electric tandoori oven but when it's switched on it blows the fuse for the whole compound! I've been trying to make a quiche for four days but the power keeps tripping out. Spu, can you adapt your microwave cuisine to two gas rings? If so come on out... Prakash is getting a chef from Bombay so from tomo we won't have to lift a tandoorying-finger. I suspect Prakash is going to chef-nap a cook from Bombay as we've both given him a talking to about the slow progress on site and he's now desparate to please us... Love to y'all, will get a blog and some photos up today or tomo - but we're needed at the ranch with Prakash away...

Spu Bromster - If your kitchen has a microwave i'll come and be your new chef!! Also - i see youve rumbled my secrect life in India after you found my car...cover has been blown! Hope you are well, sounds like its going good for you both. And i dont know what you were worring about regarding Matt and a decent pair of jeans, we all know nothing goes with a dodgy leeds top anyway. Take care, Love Kris

beth The otter is very cute, thanks. Are you returning home. I have all of the parentals flight details in case you need them. I take it you have doorkeys. If you fly to Birmingham you can visit the xmas market. Lots of fun. Hot wine is very very easy to drink!!! Keep on smiling- hard work in the sun is better than not seeing daylight in birmingham.

TSO Well noone could accuse you of being on holiday! not one mention of a beach! and from the pictures i've seen, the beach there is rather beautiful. you've def picked the right spot for a business venture afar. you must have some chill out time before you come back tho. unfortunately we don't have the hot days to make up for cold nights and mornings! lots of love xxx
