Hello Lovely Readers!
Hope you all have been fabulous!
I’ve been so very, very busy the past 2 months. What with attending to royalty and then having a spot of my own vacation, blogging had been the last thing on my mind!
After my last post, a few colleagues and I traveled to India on an assignment. The ruler of the country I work in, had plans to visit Delhi on a private trip and our company had the grand privilege of arranging the event. Apart from the sleepless nights and the panic attacks where I kept thinking everything would end up disastrous and we could all get deported,ย it was an AMAZING learning experience. The event turned out to be a success too! So thankful that I have some fantastic colleagues! I even managed to get a picture clicked with His Highness, which was pure luck, honestly. Talk about being in the right place at the right time! And to think I was so upset at being sent to the said place at first ๐ !
Once that ended and I got back, it was soon time for me to go on my annual vacation to India (again!). Had a wonderful time with parents. Oh how I miss their love (sometimes I think my parents are the only people in the world who loves me selflessly ๐ ). And this time round, my allergies didn’t act up, despite the dreadful humidity (Thank God for small mercies!!).
Here’s a glimpse of my village back home –
Pretty little place, isn’t it?
Managed to get a bit of crocheting done too. My 12 year old came up with a plan of wanting to gift things to her teachers on Teachers’ Day in September and asked if I could crochet something for them. She’s got 10 teachers to gift and it was a good thing she came up with this idea well in advance and not last minute (as is the usual!). We finally settled on making mandalas for them that would be attached to hoops so her teachers could hang them wherever. Will show them once they’re all done and I’m almost there.
Now that I’m back, I’m looking forward to posting more often. And I have a LOT of catching up to do with you all too ๐
Wishing you all a great week ahead!
