Meet a Holy Cow!


Will we read beneath the banyan tree?
Meet a Holy Cow!
See brilliant colours as we journey! 
Meet a Holy Cow!


 Smell fragrant spices in the air!
Meet a Holy Cow!

 Is this really paradise on earth?

Will we meet a Holy Cow?

Did you ever read the children's story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen?

We're going on a bear hunt.
We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

Children find Michael's story very exciting but a bit scary too,
I think I'm feeling the same!
 Given a 'fair wind' normal service will be resumed later in April

  1. Hello Rosemary,

    As you set sail on your next adventure, so we arrive to bid you safe travelling. Undoubtedly, the sights sounds and scents of this deliciously complex country will seduce you and how we wish that we were your travelling companions. May you have a wonderful time and come back to us with tales of mystery and magic.

    We read from earlier posts that your brother has recently died. This must have been a great shock to you and your family, a loss that will take time to heal but a loss that can never be replaced. We hold you close in our hearts and trust that your adventures in foreign lands will provide the space and opportunity for reflection and refreshment of the soul that you must need at this difficult time. Take care.

  25. I hadn’t known Michael Rosen and searched for his book to find some books’ title sounds a little scary but all in all lovely books. Wish you a good time in your adventure to India and safe return.
