Tickling bottom - a result

1.  Delhi was covered in its usual foggy state, which made the decision to leave much easier. Drive out of Delhi in search of clearer air.

2.  Puzzlement and curiosity was aroused as we strayed further and further in the country along bumpy cart tracks. A promise of a Sunday lunch at a guest house run by an ex naval attaché and his wife.

3.  The air indeed was clear and the sun shone when we arrived out of nowhere at tickling bottom. The house was impressive with emus running about which amused the boys for ages.

4.  A Sunday lunch was served with a poem from Kipling, after I had enquired what drove him to retirement. The poem entitled gods of the copybook ... Epitomised his beliefs about society. He felt England had become silly especially being governed by the Brussels. Find the poem and read it.

5.  He has set up a school in the village which now has over 200 pupils. He strongly believes in educating. A friend of theirs was volunteering and they are always looking for people.

6.   I really felt it was like the life if the raj when I had a gin and tonic.

7.   I hope the assignment has gone well.
