No leprechauns or fairies under there

Lovely soft and cosy pure merino wool throw in a very attractive heather check which is pleasing and restful on the eye.

In soft honey and neutral toned colours inspired by the natural hues of the moors and hills this luxuriously soft and cosy throw is warm in appearance and has a place in any home.

The natural insulating properties of wool combined with durability and skilled weaving give this throw longevity and endurance.

We like it so much and feel it is so versatile and accommodating that we have added a matching cushion to the collection. Presented together this match made in heaven would make a much appreciated and beautiful wedding or new home gift.

El trek del Helambu

 

Siete dias y siete noches han pasado desde que sali de Kathmandu. Hoy vuelvo a estar en la capital alojado a pocos metros de la "guest house" donde pare en la anterior ocasion. Esta vez no habian habitaciones libres aunque para manyana me han asegurado que voy a tener una.

 

Aldeas, terrazas de maiz, dos parques nacionales, abundacia del elemento liquido, mariposas, nubes que se hacian y deshacian en un periquete, puentes colgantes, monos, sherpas, bolets, vacas, sol, saltamontes, rios, subir, bajar, volver a subir para volver a bajar, orugas, gompas de vivos colores, lluvia, porteadores, cabras, viento, flores, picos nevados en el horizonte, bosques de aspecto terrorifico, frio, banderas de la oracion, infinidad de stupas, casas de chapa y piedra... Caminar un dia tras otro por la region del Helambu es duro pero, sin duda, el esfuerzo se ve recompensado por el entorno y, sobretodo, por la gente amable y sencilla que habita en ella.

 

Me atrevi a hacer la ruta en solitario con todo mi equipaje, haciendo de la brujula y el mapa el mejor de los guias... y del frasco con la autentica crema de tigre de Singapur el mejor acompanyante/relajante muscular.

 

Lo peor: La vuelta en autobus hasta Katmandu (5 horas) Alguien dijo que las carreteras en Nepal eran buenas?... Y las agujetas. Manyana creo que me va a costar bajar un par de escalones.

 

Lo mejor de lo mejor: Caminar mientras un grupo de monos me iba siguiendo de arbol en arbol (no hice fotos por temor a un robo con intimidacion), un atardecer + un amanecer de pelicula en Kutumsang y compartir las dos ultimas horas de la durisima etapa hasta Tharepati con un joven sherpa.

This and other moments have really made people watching a lot of fun for me!

Gordon the Intern forgot to bring his press print-out, so the nice man had to read his confirmation info off of Gordon's iPhone.

This is the thinnest film I have ever seen. I feared that it can be torn at any second in my hands. No wonder they can pack 72 frames into one roll. I don’t know how old this roll is. Someone said that Ilford stopped making them in early 80s.
