First Christmas |
An everyday story of country folk
Welcome to the continuing saga of the Wildies in India (and wherever else we happen to visit while we are based here.) Soon to be a major motion picture starring .. OK, at that point I will get completely sidetracked. Suggestions welcome.
The journal has been split into two parts. Christmas 2006 saw us complete four and a half years in India and 56 journal entries, so that seemed a reasonable time to start afresh (why are we obsessed with round figures? I'm NOT going to wait for five years/60 journals. So there.). Part two is here.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy dipping into these pages. Let us know what you think. If it inspires you to visit or even come and work here, that will be great.

If you have come to WildyLog for the first time, you might like some kind of contents list, so below are some of what I think are the highlights of Part One - telling the story of the first four and a half years, and some of the interesting things we've discovered about Mussoorie and India (most recent postings are at the top). If you want to look for particular people, places or events, you can use the search bar at the bottom. There's also a lot of photos of Mussoorie and India in the Photos section of the website - make sure you check them out. Good hunting!
