This blog follows the travels of the Turberfield family as they drop out of the normal busyness of corporate life to explore the ancient art of Tibetan Thangka, the dusty mountaintop temples of the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau and travel overland from Singapore to England.

Offering to The Spiritual Guide in a lofty gompa perched above the natural fort of Dongwan valley, weekly trips to Shangri La's unpredictable shower rooms, keeping the cows out of the bins, scaling sacred Mount Shika, haggling for pu-er in the tea markets of Kunming and the nightly wonder of the milky way - possibly as far as it's possible to get from the subway at rush hour....

The main contributors are Michelle (also widely known as "The Boss") and David with bits and pieces from San San and Jon Jon. We hope you enjoy and look forward to your comments.

Feel like home again

Snow welcomed us on our arrival in Shangri-la in the beginning of the week. It has been a good week being back at 'home'.

Children enjoyed being a little more settle and in a place where there are friends.

It is hard to imagine that we have been away. There are changes but familiar changes.

Fluffy, the dog found us again. We were surprised that it remembered us and knew where we live. However, this time she is not alone. We can see she is with baby.

Dave did some voluntary work with the Thangka association. I caught up with my students. They made yak butter tea for me. It is also good to see the master.

Winter is soon over, and Shangri-la is beginning to see more movements, shops are beginning to reopen after the Tibetan new year rest.

Today, it is the last day here. Jeff is coming on the bus with us. I think it is going to be quite an entertaining ride to Kunming.
