Since 1997 when we went to India, we have sent out newsletters to keep people informed about what we are doing, which we called our 'Epistles'. The last we sent was number thirty seven! As we embark on a new adventure, we felt that it was appropriate to upgrade - so welcome to our new look e-pistle!

Summer and Autumn 2015

Thanks to all of you who helped make our month in the UK, back in July and early August, such good fun and so refreshing. We loved our time camping in North Devon, despite the wild wind and rain:


As always we loved our beach times and sea swimming, although the temperatures in the water were a lot more enjoyable by the end of the time than the beginning!



Since returning to Bishkek we have plunged back into the routines of life... 


Rosie celebrated her 11th birthday...


we went back to school for the first day of autumn term 2015: Jane's first day teaching, Rosie's first day in Middle School, and Felix's first day in High School!


We have enjoyed some friends visiting (here we are proudly showing off the sights of Bishkek on a wheeled pedalo!)...


Jim and Felix have had a long weekend in the mountains as part of a school trip...


and Jim has had a few fantastic evening cycles in the mountains.

Now we are looking forward to winter... and Christmas!
