It's not an omen

That's yesterday's photo of the day. I thought I'd post it now because in 66 minutes we'll be leaving for Heathrow and then to Delhi. I don't take my laptop on holiday and can't embed Flickr pics using my phone, which limits what I can share while I'm away and my incentive to post.

It's the first time we've travelled as a fully retired couple and the difference it makes is enormous. The extra time and headspace available for planning and logistics transforms everything, as does the knowledge that we don't have to be back for work and can just toddle off when we feel like it. The newly acquired 5-year visas for Indian are also a huge gift.

See you later, lovelies.
