So if you want to go and get
close to nature, how do you
do it?
In recent times my favourite
occupation has been to go
walking in woods at dusk to
watch for animals at that time
which appear furtively,
which don’t appear during
the day; and the most excit-
ing thing is to see a move-
ment among some dusky un-
dergrowth, and see a deer
coming or standing, or seeing
a fox taking its prey across
the field. That’s very exciting
and something we have to
wait and watch for. We don’t
control this. We just observe
and learn and respect.
What about you, Wendy?
Where do you go to get close
to nature?
Well, it’s become very diffi-
cult these days. One has to
often take a map, look where

there are very few villages,
where the roads are very
small, and where you can go
where you do not hear the
sound of the motor car.
And where would you go in
the British Isles to find a
natural environment?
I was imagining standing on a
man-made object, which is the
Cobb at Lyme Regls, being
surrounded by a storm. So to
go to the coast and watch the
awful power of the sea, and
the sky moving fast overhead,
something we have certainly
no control of, would be very
dramatic, very dramatic.
And what about outside Eng-
land? I mean there’s all of
Scotland and Ireland and
Wales. If you could go any-
where, if you had let’s say a
week, where would you go in
the British Isles, Wendy?
I think the part of the British
Isles that’s given me the most
happiness in the last few
years that I’ve been to are the
island off Scotland. They’re
all very very different.
They’re all … still contain
people who are pursuing the
crafts they have done for a
long time, and I remember

with particular joy the Outer
Hebrides and particularly the
island of Harris, which has
the most incredible undulat-
ing landscape, with lots of
water. And climbing the
highest mountain on Harris,
which is Clisham, and stand-
ing on a ridge with the clouds
racing in from the Atlantic
was probably the most ex-
hilarating experience I’ve had
for a long time.

What image of Britain did
you have in your mind before
you left India?
Well, I thought it have … it
will be very big house, nice
bungalow and all this stuff,
but when I came to England,
when I get off from the air-
port, I was amazed by cars, it
was lots of, lots of cars, but
when I came to my house it
wasn’t like I was expecting,
it’s like a street, all row for
houses, which I wasn’t ex-

houses, and all these things,
but it was totally different, it

ten o’clock at night and it
was still quite light, day time,
and I was thinking it should
be night time here, why it’s
so light up here? And well, I
didn’t know days are that
longer here, and that was the
new thing for me when I
came over here.
Do you enjoy living in Brit-
ain?
Yes I do, yes, yes. But still I
can’t forget the back, yes.
When you say you can’t –
you can’t forget what?
I’m enjoying at the moment,
yes, it is nice to live here
with the family and because
most of our family is here,
from my mum’s side as well,
and Paul’s side as well. But
sometimes when you remem-
ber back in India you want to
go back, yes.
What do you miss?
It’s mostly the weather. Be-
cause weather is, up there
weather is nice, it’s a proper
season, you know. We do
have rainy season as well,
winter, a proper winter as
well, and summer as well, so
it’s a bit different than here,
