Amaya, Lily and Chloe Home Visit
For the Indian family visit I was in a group with Chloe, Amaya and Lily. Our group was the most exciting because we found out we were the only group getting there by car. When everyone got into their saris and punjabis, they all started to leave but our group left last, which was fine because we got to see everyone leave.
Sandip and his daughter came to pick us up. Once we got to their house, the family was there and we took our shoes off and went in. They were interested in our lifestyle in England. We started talking about all of the paintings on the walls and found out that Sandip had painted all of them around the house. They wanted to show us around the house so off we went. They have a big house with load of stairs and walking up them with a sari is the worst. First we went through the living room that was connected to the kitchen and the dining room. – lily
Their house was more tall than large, but still equally beautiful and still very big (they had two floors and a rooftop floor that was still under construction, seeing as Sandip was building it himself!). We went back down to their top floor which was still part of the workshop; there was a side room that had a laser cutter and a computer and whilst we were chatting to his wife, he made us all little keyrings with our names engraved on ;))
After a quick tour of the rest of the house, we went back down for dinner, despite it being only us three eating, since for their family it was too hot to eat until after 12 in the morning! Our food was absolutely delicious and full of flavours – everything you could imagine in a traditional Indian meal. While dessert (ice cream) was being prepared, I was asked to play their mini keyboard for their daughter. We had the pleasure of being in the house of a celebrity; Sandip was in the Guinness world book of records for going the longest distance, 28 km, on one wheel on his motorcycle. After dinner we took a few pictures with their family and said a huge thanks for willingly inviting us into their home for a lovely dinner, and got driven back home.
