Our last day in London. It's also Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights and Shanthi has kindly invited us to tea. She has taken the day off work, visited inlaws and gone to the temple and now we get to share in the lighting of the Diwali candles and in the meal, made festive with rose petals strewn across the tablecloth. It's Jean and Joe and I, along with Shanthi. Priya is still at work but will be back later as will her boyfriend. Lovely meal with shanthiès homemade springrolls  and butter cake.
Then back to pack and set an alarm.
