In May, we stayed for 3 weeks at the village of Kasol in the Parvati Valley. Kasol is at an elevation of 1500 meters, just low enough not to get snow in the winter, though there are snow capped peaks all around. In May, when we were there, it was mostly T-Shirt weather and we enjoyed many walks along the Parvati River and its tributaries. These places are picture-postcard beautiful and sparsely inhabited. Along our walks, we would sometimes meet herders and their goats, sheeps, mules and horses. Often, we would be befriended by local dogs who would stay with us for much of the walk. They were very well behaved and we never felt any menace from them. Once, the dog who had accompanied us the day before met us at the patio of the restaurant where we were having breakfast the next morning. Of course, he got a thank you in the form of an omelette. Another time, we were accompanied by a little puppy who could barely keep up, but he did. Sophie had to help him up a steep grade once, but he was very happy for the company. We will remember Kasol for a long time... it was wonderfully restful and got us ready for our last week in India (New Delhi) before we flew back home to Canada.

We arrived in Canada at the beginning of June and have now settled in to our new home in Wortley Village in London. Our new home/office is a beautiful house with a lovely garden. We have both started seeing clients now and look forward to seeing you there... 15 1/2 Marley Place, London • 519 434 5503.
