Lots of progress while I was in India, over in Eaglemont. The framing for the second floor is complete, roof trusses installed and the roof tiles laid. Can't wait until I see it myself.

India - Agra
One of the highlights of my trip was to see the Taj Mahal. Amazing on the flesh and even in the photo's it look surreal. The intricate marble details are stunning and even patterns that are popular now like the chevron design are found, and it dates back to the 1500's.
The following morning, we got up at 5am to head the other side of the river and see the Taj as the sun rose and without the thousands of tourists, just some random dogs and Buddhist monks, chanting at dawn.

India - Silk Weaving
While in India I got the chance to see some traditional silk weaving on a couple of 100+ year old looms
There was another loom that was 1000+ years old - they only weave 2cm per day and the detail was incredible. Mind you with all the threads, I don''t know how they now what they are doing.
The reverse side is shown above and below is the stunning detail, its amazing.

Back from my travels
I'm back - I had the most amazing three weeks away with my three sisters and my little sisters friends - mainly in India and Nepal with a few days in KL for shopping.
India is an explosion for the senses - noise, smells and sights, but I must say it exceeded my expectations and no Delhi belly for me....
We are there for the Holi festival and in the spice markets in Delhi the colours were everywhere.
I'll post some more of my photo's over the next week.
