On Saturday 25th there was a 7.8 earthquake in Nepal,
with many big aftershocks, well over 4000 injuries,
& nearly 2000 deaths, & untold houses & historic
buildings wrecked
it is such a beautiful country, & people,
this will make it an even harder life for many
Like all parts of the Himalayas, earthquakes are a fact of life
the mountains are still moving. When I visited Pokhara
in 2012, this was the view from my guesthouse roof
the plan is to visit again in October, but who can say..
There are many ancient Hindu & Buddhist temples
& monasteries, with exceptional wood carving,
metal work & statues
I wish that everyone who has been, & loved it,
(surely everyone?)
will donate generously
Nepal needs our help
