Water baby

10 hours was just not long enough to explore every nook and cranny on that plane! I kept Ma really busy by racing up and down the plane the whole way, I kept everyone amused. Strangely Ma looked really exhausted when we arrived....It is so nice to be back in England, the sun is shining for me. Granny bought me a paddling pool yesterday and I had SO much fun splashing around - as you can see! We love you loads Papa, Mama keeps showing me photos of you which I love to kiss xxxx

Homeward bound

After 4 years in India, Mama and me are coming home. We will certainly return to Mysore as it has been our first family home, but for the next year, our sights are set on Manchester. Our bags are packed, Mama has had to sit on each of them to close them! We have said our goodbyes, to the; vegetable market men, the Barista boys, the charming girls of the Green Hotel (who were very sad when we left), the Rajasthani moustache man who waves to us every morning, our tailor Madhu, our ironing wallah, and of course the wonderful, warm, happy Anita. We shan't be sad to say goodbye to the monkeys who have terrorised us every day for the last 3 weeks! Mama will try to keep the blog updated as much as possible in between lectures, studying and looking after me! xxx

Comings and goings...

Hello everyone,
I hope you enjoyed my new video performance! As you can see I am as active, inquisitive and happy as ever. This week Mama celebrated her 35th birthday and even Papa was able to take the day off which was just lovely - I didn't leave his side all day! We had a great day together; we had a delicious lunch at our favourite Italian cafe then we went to Karanji Lake which is a beautiful park surrounding a lake which is home to a vast array of tropical birds and butterflies. I was really fascinated by the butterflies as they were so big and were fluttering around my pushchair - maybe they thought my orange pushchair was a big flower? This week we also said a sad goodbye to Mama's good friend, Kim, who is returning to Denver after many years in Mysore. "Kim Aunty", as she is known to me, has been great fun and we have loved every minute of her company! Mama has told me that we are returning to England in a few weeks' time to set up, temporarily, in Manchester where Mama is starting a new course. I am excited about being back near family again but I know that we will miss Papa and he will miss us, thank goodness for Skype. I love you very much and will see you soon! Champion xxxxxxx P.S Here are some photos of me with Kim Aunty and my Indian Mama, Anita!

Happy boy
