...An update for my readers. This blog has been a labor of love, capturing memories of boarding school for all Lawrencians to enjoy. Work has meant less time for regular updates and, for the moment, I am maintaining this as an archive only...for the reading pleasure of the many alumni who visit. Enjoy!

Places from memory
- visiting Ooty, the nearest townOne weekend a month - we'd get to visit Ooty, the nearest town, on an 'outing'. It was a real treat... Here are some of the places I remember off the top my head. * King Star Bakery * Mohan's Department Store * Higginbotham's * Shinkow's - the Chinese Restaurant * Kurinji's (mmmm....paper dosas...) * Blue Hills Lodge. h/t to Yohaan for the last three. His choices at the BHL: ceylon paratha and chicken curry.

high up in the hills
- Come spend time with me......high up in the blue hills of Southern India...and within the open spaces of Lawrence School, Lovedale. This boarding school is over 150 years old; it is where I spent nine years of my life - grades 4-12. Lovedale is an endless fount of stories...and I hope you enjoy reading mine! Names of teachers and students have almost all been changed to protect the privacy of innocents.

Hey lady ... I am not a Lawrencian but browsing your beautifully crafted blog I can only say "Oh what a school"... it was thrilling to listen to the Col's Bogey and other popular numbers which brought back nostalgic memories ..as an Army guy I can say the pics of the parade were very impressive ....
Rakesh an alumnus of this wonderful has shared his thoughts on my blog and that's how I landed here.
Good wishes to you and all the present and past students.
Regards!
