One of us a psychologist (Dr B) and one of us a scientist/teacher (Dr C), now both retired. We studied together, graduated together, raised a family together, ran a UK/Nepal Educational charity together. One of us is from Cumbria, one of us is from Kathmandu AND was the first woman from Nepal to get a PhD (1971!). The other got one too! One of us was born a Buddhist, the other one wasn’t.

Welcome to our site, the start point for your enjoyment of our blog. We are currently focusing on writing syllabic poetry, (especially haiku and senryu) and Buddha, though in the past this has been quite different and has included Wine, Travel, English History, Personal Ancestry, Mountaineering, and our Education Aid work in Nepal.

For several years we have travelled the world together in a mindful way exploring culture, architecture, museums, galleries, wine ……. But now with old age and health issues creeping up on us, much of our travel is relatively local or just “in the mind”! We have written a couple of books too, you can find both on the sidebar of our Home Page.
