  Thanks, Becky. Not something I usually do. I had bumped into her by chance and she insisted I took a photo

  This small plantation was part of what is now a hotel but used to be a full blown tea plantation. The nearby village seemed to be well looked after so hopefully she was genuinely happy.

    I do as well. A pity that development takes over agriculture
