Cheryl Cole, who is scheduled to fly in the afternoon, receives a call from the airport
"I am sorry to tell you Ms Cole but you cannot fly today because of ash"
"Why? What has he done this time?!" she says.
It had been a great trip. We had done some useful work in Tang Ting and I had opened the village festival and given out the prizes for the tug of war, bamboo carrying race ( you had to be there !) and volleyball competitions.There were some new developments in the village and all of the houses now had water taps,there was even a ‘phone line and some computers in the school-progress.We trekked back to Pokhara in the steaming heat and had a day’s r and r before heading back to the choking pollution, crazy traffic, stray dogs and cows and congestion of Kathmandu all ready for our flight back to the UK.

Another successful community event took place with the TTTA Anniversary Dinner held on 15th May 2010 at the Officers Mess, Carver Barracks. We were honoured with the presence of the Nepalese Ambassador, HE Dr Suresh Chandra Chalise and his wife Dr Milan Adhikary, the Commanding Officers from Carver Barracks, along with local residents and representatives from businesses in the local and surrounding area. The evening was great fun and provided ample opportunity for guests to mingle, integrating the two villages with the Nepalese community and Carver Barracks.

WHO ARE THE GURKHAS?
Gurkhas are recruited from the hill people of Nepal who trace their roots right back to an 8th century Hindu warrior, Guru Gorakhnath.
They first encountered the British in the Gurkha War of 1814-1816, which ended not just in stalemate, but with an abiding sense of mutual respect and admiration between the two sides.
