Safe and well

Just an update to let everyone know we are all safe and well. With all of the terrible news out of Mumbai at the moment we have had loads of emails wondering if we are ok.
The truth is that we aren't even in India right now as we are enjoying a week on the beautiful island of Langkawi. We are all very relaxed and having fun by the pool and at the beach each day.
We head back to Chennai this weekend and we hope to arrive there and find all is peaceful and quiet. Well, as quiet as a city of 7 million people can be.
For all of you whose geography is not great, Chennai is along way from Mumbai, Chennai being on the southern east coast and Mumbai on the northern west cost (sort of) so we are not near any of the trouble. But in saying that I suppose we don't really know what can happen. We plan to stay away from the big hotels, like the Meridian where we go to the pool. Most of the hotels now do a bomb check all cars when entering the car park, which has kind of freaked us out at the start but you just get used to it after a while.
So thank you all for you concern. Its comforting to know we are in every ones thoughts. And we will try to stay as safe as possible. God willing.

Hi megs, glad to hear you are safe and free from terrorists. Just checked out you blog for the last month and I can't believe how long your hair is. It will be halfway down you back by the time you get back. It would be when straight anyway I suppose! I was thinking of you when cutting my own hair yesterday! It's amazing what a sharp razor can do to take away the frump! Have fun in Thailand. We had a ball there for our honeymoon. Will try to keep in touch more often. Not sure why I can't find the time to even scratch myself these days! Maybe I need a little pint size friendly housekeeper of my own! x Lis
