Long journeys

Not exactly sure how I'm going to update this blog over the next three weeks as I'll be in India. Catching the plane at 3pm on Saturday afternoon. There's something wonderful about the pregnant few hours before a long journey - bags packed, house tidied, in the airport reading a book. Just waiting.

The plan is to fly to Delhi, then straight to Patna to visit the folks and my grandparents and then south to Madras. India is always a bit of an adventure: the long flight, the trains, the people, the feeling of being part of something bigger. Also, no-one can make me do any work - in fact, I have no responsibilities whatsoever. All I have to do is get myself to the airport. Bliss.
