Very nice work.From the swales project by Mr. Douglas, we are seeing the promising results. Looking forward to seeing the results from your “desert-water project”
Cheers

Thanks Craig,

I had to sell my trusty old Bullet before leaving India which was an emotional time.We had been through a bit together and it never let me down.I had thought I may have been able to ride from India to here but reconsidered after realising the security issue.You don’t want to stand out here.

Hey Doug,no I didn’t get to see Gangi Setty.Heaps of opportunities for projects in India though.Just a hassle getting commitment for sponsorship for long term visa.
Hope all is good for you.

Thanks all for your interest and words of support.The second instalment was made for over an hours work of pure gold but the recording didn’t turn out.If anyone else is using skype to record like this,then keep in mind that it only lets you record for an hour.
Good work with the editing Pat.I look forward to our next chat.
Hey Steve,can you send me your contact details so we can have that chat.

It’s good to see Ringo’s rugged smiling face again!
The whole South Asian subcontinent needs to implement initiatives like this one … we need more Ringos!
