Tea Picking in Munnar

After watching Indian women pick tea leaves with their bare hands in Munnar, I will never drink a cuppa in the same way again! Working long hours for probably very little money, these incredible ladies pick away with a big smile on their faces waving to you as you walk past. Driving through this Hill Station in the Western Ghats is aabsolutely breathtaking. At one point we climbed 2,500 meters above sea level and crossed the border into Tamil Nadu. It's chilly up there.

Up, Up and Away....

Ballooning with Mother for her 50th birthday treat over the Essex countryside. I wish every Monday morning could be spent this way, especially the champagne part.

Our pilot Glen was quite a character and managed to land us in one piece, phew. Luckily we had no angry farmers shouting at us for landing in their field. 

A walk in the woods with Mother....
