Roger Hi Chris - good to see you have survived! In my new found retirement gardening career I have been struggling at times with new demanding customers but what has kept me going is knowing that there are no leeches, roaches, rats, no need for immodium, temperatures not in the 100s F and no tuk tuks on the A47! Safe journey home and see you on squash court when you feel you are up to it. Roger

Dee and Chris Illuminating blogs Chris - didn't know you had it in you. On your return, I suggest you hire a hall and show us all these elusive photos in one hit. It will save Lindsay having to hear your tales 27 times over! Had a curry tonight in your honour. See you soon. xx

Lindsay Your blog states that you are now officially a non-drinking vegetarian. If that is the case, don't bother to come home! The boys and I will enjoy the steak and merlot I've got for your return! L x

Kate Bingley Hi Chris Looking forward to the slide show - hope you will be providing plenty of Indian cuisine to create the atmosphere. Really enjoyed the blogs - Alan Whicker needs to be careful! Take care and safe journey Kate

Sandie Hi Chris, you had better come home before you go completely 'native'. Leeches - yuk!!! Your blogs have been rivetting. It would be great if you see at least one Tiger before you get back to see our local variety in the final of the Heineken Cup!! Pretty tame after your adventures. Safe journey, Sandie

Sue & Gary Hi Chris can't believe how fast your time away has gone looking forward to hearing the uncensored version of your trip!! Thinking of you today staying at the homestead!! Take care have a safe trip home Sue & Gary

Bruce Come on Chris, where are the photo's? Have you run out of Immodium yet? Great descriptives on the blog, keep it but get the technology right to get the photo's as well. How do we know you are not sitting on a beach in the Caribbean with a nubile wench asnd writing them? Take care, Bruce & Anne

Ian Greig Chris, Lidsay suggested I read your blog... I did'nt know what a blog was but I do now, really interesting but I am with Lindsay, a 3 star hotel is roughing it for us. Keep away from anyting that does not have the sense to have four or less legs. Eva & Ian

Tessa Hi Chris It sounds amazing, the only way to see the 'real' India. Your blogs are incredible, hope you have a publisher ready for the book! Stay safe and keep on blogging. Love Tessa xx

Roger Hi Chris - Hey you are really enjoying yourself! I can imagine that Lindsay is quite jealous of all this! When you get back we must go for a curry down the London Road to bring it all back - that is the memories - pardon the expression. Press on - you will recount your travels no doubt over many a pint when you get back. Things much the same here although had to negotiate an inch of hail in Enderby on way to squash this week! Cheers Roger

Jeggers Yo! Just wanted to say keep your chin up (ha ha 'chin' up) and Im sure you are, but make the most of your time out there. You need bad times to realise youve had good times, just make sure when the good times roll in you take a moment to appreciate them!! Keep on bloggin and watch out for those Tuk Tuks! Jeff x

Phil E Chris - Your blogs are great. I can almost visualise the sceen and lets just say I am glad that I have a poor sense of smell! I can't imagine the heat and how tiring it must be. All those hours in the gym must be really paying off now. Hope it continues to go well and keep the blogs coming. Phil E.

Clare Wow Chris, what a journey ...almost rivals some of those taken by the X-Factor contestants!! I have the contract ready for publishing "The Dummies Guide to India" the first of series actually written by a Dummy!! Those funeral pyres will be giving Lindsay ideas for drumming up some new business. Finally is it the royal "we" to whom you keep referring?!? Will look forward to catching up on your next installment. Loads of love, Clare

Aimee Heyyah Scallywag !!! Sounds like you're having an amazing time. Loved reading about what your up to and can't wait to read your next blog, so modern ! All my love. Aimee xx
