There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the
deliberately silenced or the preferably unheard. -Arundhati Roy, author

Greetings to Clan Sutherland, et al, from Bikaner House,/Palace Hotel,(a 130 year old hill station mansion, in atop Mount Abu, Rajastan. Drove here from Udaipur, about three hours, this morning. Many of these White Langur monkeys by the roadside once we started climbing into the hills! Jugos Dom Pedro and Lady Darjeeling are swilling Kingfisher on the patio by the tennis courts while Lynne has a snooze. She spent all of yesterday in bed with a violent case of something that didn't agree with her. On the mend now so G&T's on the lovely terrace, outside our adjoining rooms, with a common siting room in between, this evening before dinner. Plenty of room for the Sutherland/Mercado/Trueman Freeloaders. Cheers to one and all, Patrizzio!

Big thanks to all those who have already signed up for a shift! We can't wait to see you on the lot.

Hi Henryk and Louisa, et al! Thanks for all the work and the pictures to prove it! Looks fabuloso! Do you need to go south? Please hold off on the vacuuming, Louisa, especially if it means having more "magic cabinet" hootch! Fondestos from Lady Darjeeling to you both. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Dear friends, I have not had the pleasure to hear from you yet, whether you will be there for Jos' Surprise Potluck. You have most likely been busy or traveling, but I am sure Jos would very much like to see you that day! I look forward hearing from you. Cheers, Aart
Hello Aarturo! Trust you are more than well. Sorry that it has taken me so long to reply. No excuses but plenty of reasons! We are both honoured and delighted to be invited to help celebrate Jos's 65th! Will be in touch once we are back, (December 11th or thereabouts), to let you know what we can bring. Must away as scads of email to try to answer. Life is tough on the road when one is not lollygagging in Summerland! Fondestos from Lady Darjeeling. Cheers, Patrizzio!
