And all very best wishes to you dear John
You are indeed privileged to be in such a magical mystical place at this time !
Do ask your companion to tell you the story of the Christmas table set up amongst the trees to the left of what was the old Bamboo ….the magical mystical Christmas with the Sindhur Branches and berries being used as Holly alike…..
The funniest thing being because we could only laugh ….at the end of the day the Golconda Wine was to be consumed within 6 months of manufacture!!
