Christmas stall sales - Nov/Dec

14/1/2015

 

We took our stall to 3 different Christmas fairs and it was also at Dee's home for several days. 

We sold goods for Free Tibet and Tibet Relief Fund as well as our own goods which we'd bought back from recent trips to Tibet and India.  

Altogether we took almost £750 - and had a lot of fun! 

Many thanks to everyone who helped.

Our first group visit to Holy Isle after hoping to visit for many years. Holy Isle is part of Samye Ling and is a beautiful and inspiring island off the West coast of Scotland dedicated to world peace. We had a wonderful few days there and hope to return before too long. 
We also held our summer retreat with Lama Lhakpa Yeshe at  the very welcoming and beautiful Lime Tree Farm near Masham.  The teachings took place in a reconstruction of a neolithic roundhouse just visible in the photo - very atmospheric!
