amour in the chink

This is Mr Lincoln Augustus, first second cousin of Holymagiman

We are away on holidays up here in Ladakh. Lots of snow here and lots of hills and so few people. Most enchanting, highly recommended. The silence of the hills is so quiet that it is totally deafening and overpowering and so most of us cannot hear what has been said.

So we have been skiing when we can and climbing when we couldn't and we have smoked the Jamaica Numba One in between times as we sat back and sipped the fresh brewed Darjeeling that our porter Mohan Rambahadur brews so finely while seeing everything there is to see.

And this clear air gives us a lucidity of mind so clear as never before. And as we don the protective clothes and don our gloves for the day ahead, we cannot help but think about the amour in the chink, or maybe that is better put as a chink in the amour....but we are having a ball, and now we are going on to higher up the hill, for there is much to be revealed from way above the clouds.

Blessing of the Lord
