I was greeted with excellent hospitality by Neil and Kate at the Homeground Café in the Old High Street. As we sat and chatted with the managers of the café we began to grasp a better understanding of the changing sense of belonging that the artists, apartment tenants and business owners are beginning to develop.
we were greeted at the Tower Theatre on North Road with a welcome drink which gave the opportunity to meet the other people attending this event. As always, the Nepalese women were dressed in the most beautiful saris. Welcome speeches were made, including one from me, and the background to the plan for a Gurkha Memorial on the Leas was described.

I must be doing something right.
