Nearly home time

We spent four days on the Kerela backwaters which was a return trip of four years ago. Not always good to go back. These beautiful reflective waterways which are made up of inland fresh water canals similar to the Dutch dyke system,are now busy, busy, busy , so many rice barges do the daily trips that the boats are no longer allowed access to the narrower back water canals which run off the main drag. On the first trip we mentally and physically zoomed in on the lives of the families who live on the narrow strips of land between paddy fields and the backwaters , we were the pioneers of the demise of their privacy. In order to defend that privacy they now erect fences or hedges in front of their properties , there is limit as to how many photos you can endure whilst going about your private business ." Gold fish bowl syndrome " is a phrase that comes to mind.
