    We spent the morning with this lady, sitting in her ancient straw-roofed house drinking salted goat's milk tea! She was charming but the tea was disgusting!

    This one's my fave, Jamie. She is Purna (our guide)'s auntie . What a face. Shame you can't capture that voice -- it was like something out of The Exorcist.

    Okay you have aroused my curiosity - can one of you (Liz / Jamie) tell us more about these ladies?

    Thanks, BB

    Sure, I'll fill you in ... We stayed with a Limboo family in Darap, a little village in a valley between Pelling and Yuksom.

    During our walks we met many local people. Number 3 is Purna's mother (Purna was our 21 yr old guide). Her name is Phiprani and she is 61.  Number 1 is a neighbour and auntie of Purna's, but I didn't make a note of her name. She is slightly older that Phiprani. The other two ladies are from the Lepcha tribe and lived in a different part of the valley. They were extremely welcoming and very good fun. I need to write about them properly and will do in an 'experience'.

    They all look very expressive.  A good set of portraits.
