One more thing. Ian, I think Stitch should write the next blog. This has become Ian's Wacky Adventures. Stitch's fans want to see India through his eyes too!

Hi,
Great blog as always, Ian. However, can't agree that curry for breakfast is the way forward. ;-)
After a year downunder, Jaimie wanted some snow before moving to England. Winter arrived with a vengeance and it hasn't stopped snowing since. Looks like a mini blizzard out there again today. She's welcome to bring it with her, Sally, along with her green and red cookie sprinkles!
I wrote to an English friend and asked, "Don't they call them sprinkles in England?" Her response was, "That is so England. Try getting freshly grated parmesan cheese out of London! "It might be in our foreign food section!" Did you try the foreign food section, Keith?
Hope you're enjoying your jerk chicken and rum, Keith. Be good.
Ian, stay safe. Have fun.
Love Janet

Hi Ian,
your blog is as fantastic as ever - sure you're not writing for the rough guide! Jamie bring some snow with you - love the stuff - Neil is in Norway and it throwing down there too - it's blowing a gale here and pxxxxxg down here and still 15 degrees welcome to England! - but the sea looks good with the surf up.
Love you as always

hahahhaha Listen You...they are sold in EVERY supermarket here! I appreciate the effort :) You'll appreciate the effort since you'll clearly have the most beautiful cookies in Cambridge. Think a customs guy has ever seen anyone bring sprinkles into the country?!
Have a great trip...it never stops snowing here.
Hi Ian!!!
Love you!

Great blog update - I think Jaimie is mad 0 she has had me shopping for red and green sprinkles - the local shops think I am nuts - never heard of em! They'll have to fit into her suitcase.
Off my hols on Friday - I certainly don't look skinny - but I diet of lobster, jerk chicken and pork and a few rums will fatten me up for Chrimbo!
Take care, be safe, be happy
Love you son

Yes i am looking scrawny but it's certainly not down to the lack of food, i'm lapping it up here! Curry's for breakfast, lunch and dinner....it's heaven!
Realised for the first time yesterday how much weight i've lost......it's a sorry sign when your underwear becomes baggy around the waist!
Stitch is doing just fine, he's in my bag. I always forget to take him out.
See you soon
Jaimie
Just realized you've a new blog as well. Really interesting and funny...your description has me making plenty of faces and I'm thrilled that I'm spending Christmas in England now. No offence to India :)
Out to shovel 40cm of snow. Canada eh?
Jaimie
He is not in Canada! I tried to save him from months of living at the bottom of a stinky bag...he's probably suffocated by now. Don't even joke about calling him Mohammed...insane. I read this morning that Mohammed is now the second most popular boy name in England. Exactly where am I moving to again?!
Love the photos babes...although I prefer the one of you sitting at the base and smiling. Skinny for sure! You are eating until you want to explode everyday when you get home.
Love you loads,
xo

WHERE IS STITCH - his adoring fans demand to know where he is. Has he been kidnapped and taken to the colonies aka Canada? Have you renamed him Mohammed? I bought a cat called Jesus - wellit peed on the floor and I shouted "Jesus" but it didn't come to me!
Great photos - not sure of the Irish 'singing' - I have printed the ones of you at the Taj - looking good - if a little on the thin side. Great hair!
Reds are awesome! Barbados on friday so may not be able to get on internet for a few days - only away a week. Be safe be happy Love you

Dad
