ANTICIPATING MUSSOORIE

I was born on the Landour hillside section of Mussoorie in the Landour Community Hospital, in what is now the living room of a private house. I attended Woodstock School, which was then a red roofed missionary boarding school on a very steep hill side campus with the scattered dormitories and school buildings built wherever a flat space could be carved out. This week I have been trying to locate a place for us to stay when we visit Mussoorie for six days in late February so Mussoorie has been on my mind. Here are a few random ordinary photographs of Mussoorie whose value is wholly sentimental for me.









Bill, I must reply to this one, finally. The renovated Redwood Cottage is a shocker! I never would have recognized it; was it enlarged? What did they do inside, did you get a look? I miss Betty’s Nasturtiums in the front wall-top planter boxes! I have a picture of our family on the front porch in 1968. This now looks so austere. So sorry for your house. I’ll be watching for your Feb. photos!
Dear Elaine,
I don’t know if replying on WordPress will get to yoiu but I’ll try it. When I get to Landour for a week at the end of February I’ll go by Redwood Cottage again and take a few more photographs. The house certainly looks different now than when we sat on the front open porch long ago. Thanks for all your responses. Bill
