Mere & I have been tucked away on a permaculture farm and elementary school called Garden of Peace near the town of Vellore in Southern India.

We're hoping to talk to family over Xmas but we can't call out long distance on the office phone line. But, you can call us if you let us know when you're going to. The phone number is :
0091(0)416 2917555.
We've been busy working on the farm with motley collection of other rag tag permaculture enthusiasts. We've got Matt from Britain, leading the team as volunteer coordinator, Bryan for New Jersey, writing his thesis on international trade for his Masters, Claudio, a chef from Italy that we've chained to the kitchen, and Gabriella ) and Anjin ((from Austria and Mumbai, India) and their daughter Nitja.
So we'll be slumming with these cool cats in the balmy climes of Tamil Nadu over Xmas and will stay here until New Years. Then we're off to Pondicherry and some post farm pampering before hitting a yoga/meditation retreat in the spiritual hub of Tiruvannamalai for 2 weeks. Hopefully we'll finally reach enlightenment so we can fully enjoy each moment back on beach further south in Kerala.
More stories to come, the 2 person internet "cafe" in the local village is about to close.
We're missing you all so let us know how you're doing as most of you don't maintain a blog we can check...
We're in good health, in good spirits and in good company and wish the same for all of you over the Christian Holiday Season while we're having a Happy Hindustan Xmas!
Much love,
Brad & Mere
