On the last night I stayed with the Jarrolds at Norwich, they gave me a warm candle light dinner. I showed them our pictures and presentations and gifted them with some Indian art pieces and my own paintings. It was a touching moment for me to depart from them the next day. I dressed Waltraud with a saree and bid farewell. We left to Worlington hall to join our team members and continue our tour n Cambridge area.
I was put up with Rtn Rosemary and John Turner. The nice gentle couple made my stay very war and comfortable. That afternoon, we had a nice lunch of bread and salads and juice in their lovely little garden. The first evening we drove to a place called beech garden and trekked into the little beech tree woods till sun was setting. From a lovely view point I got the first glimpse of Cambrigde city and its magnificent buildings. I prepared uppitu for them and Rosemary prepared the Italian veg Lasagne for me, following a paper recipe. Both were delicious. The couple had so much to tell me about English culture and ask me about Indian culture. The gentleman had been to parts of north western India a few years ago and also knows some Indian cuisine.
The next morning we drove to the imperial war museum with our coordinator Kevin. A great part of the day was spent watching the amazing aircrafts most of which were used during the world wars. That evening we went to the south Cambridge rotary culb for a dinner meet. A guest speaker spoke about the time pieces (evolution of clocks) down the ages It was interesting. We were introduced to the gathering briefly. The next morning (18th may 2010) was our vocational day. I was taken to the Long road 6th form college. I walked around the campus meeting the staff and others concerned. A few students demonstrated drama and dance. The admin head Gale was very cordial and led me around. The principal Sarah Hamilton Fox was a smart accomplished lady and spend good time with me telling about their academic achievements. I particularly liked textile art work of the students. That afternoon we gave a presentation at the university arms hotel for the rotary club of Cambridge.
I was then taken to the BBC radio centre Cambridge. The anchor was very happy to introduce me and the GSE team on air to the listeners. I briefed her about our GSE programme and told about the exciting learning experience we were having through out. It was a very informal chat though. That evening was another presentation at the Royston club. It went well and we also met an Indian Rotarian there.
The next day was visit to Eely cathedral and club. I opted to stay back for some rest as I had minor health problems. Anyway Rosemary took me out with her for shopping in a local supermarket and we also made a brief trek across the historical Grantchester meadows by the side of river Cam known for the elite poets and scholars who have always trekked there. They were some of the loveliest sights I have ever seen. The day went in rest and here I am writing down our experience.
It is only a glimpse into all the fun and experience we are having here. More again.
