Hello Jip,
I've just got home from Scotland and from London, where I stayed with my mum.
Scotland was very beautiful, but we had a lot of rain. I stayed with some very good friends of mine, who used to share my house with me. The house is in a little village between the hills and the sea. They now have two beautfiul children, although they were a bit noisy sometimes.
It was good to stay with my mum. She is 84 years old and finding things more difficult. I was pleased to do to do things for her, like cooking and taking her to the doctor. Maybe I will have to spend more time with her.
How is your mum doing?
Thank you for the photographs of the temple. I am very interested in budhism and would like to learn more about it. For me it seems to be a wonderful way of living and I believe that the way to live is through kindness and compassion. How often do you go to the temple.
Thank you also for the pictures of the animals, which I enjoyed looking at.
I am sending you a picture of me and my friend from Scotland. My friend is holding his little boy.
Look forward to hearing from you.
