Visit to Ambala, India Trip August 2017

Visit to Ambala Part 1

We were nearing the end of our holiday when I finally decided we were going to visit Ambala, the town where I had lived and been brought up. I lived in Ambala from when I was two and I remember going to nursery and kindergarten with my Ayah. We lived a short walk from the Convent School where I went. Then we left here, lived in Shimla and Chandigarh and eventually came back when I was 7 and stayed till I was nearly 12. I came to the UK in September 1969. I went to the Convent School - very posh - and then Air Force School Number 2, both of which were English medium schools.

I had been hemming and hawing, whether to stay for a night but decided we would do a day trip and use the other day to go to Agra and see the Taj Mahal, a decision I ended up regretting. We booked tickets on an early train to Ambala, with my cousin's help. We could only book a single as it was some sort of holiday and all the return seats were all booked. We would have to take a chance and see if we could walk on or get a ticket on a bus on the way back.

Jain's - Milkshakes at weekends

My school until I was 10

Woohoo. Looks like we are moving house soon. Was a tense few days waiting for confirmation bt now all the references have gone through and my current Estate Agent was really helpful. Mind you, she may just want to get rid of me... 🤣🤣🤣Apparently, our prospective landlords rang her up as well, apart from the referencing agency. They also rang up Hari's employer. We thought, at first, that it was somebody trying a scam, having acquired our details somehow from Homelet or the new Letting Agency. Now, we need to get organised and start packing. That's gonna be fun. We have so much stuff. Might be able to get rid of some. Have to check whether the washing machine is okay. My friend wants me to get rid of the fridge and the freezer but they work fine. Also, I don't have the money to buy new stuff. Going to be hard enough to pay for the move.

On another note, this week, last year, Adam was off to his Year 11 Prom and two years ago, Tara was heading for Nepal. Where has the time gone?
