    Thanks Diana, yes I think you are right about the trains, but getting that flight I guessed I’d be able to make it within the check in window. See you there!

    I can probably get the same train as my flight gets in at 10.05.

    Thanks, I might do the same, I’m not going to do the train after all, as you need to transfer from Gare du Nord to Gare du Montparnasse,in Paris and I think I’d be nervous about that!
    I’m still researching flight times, and working things out!
    Toying with the idea of British Airways there, and Easy Jet back. How long does the train take to get from Toulouse to Lavaur?

    Reviving this thread from least year, as I have booked the retreat. I’d be interested to have some ideas about how you travelled last year, and if anyone has ideas about how to travel this year, as there is a limited time slot to arrive and leave. I quite fancy the train- at least one way!

    For a bit of light relief, but still on the topic, I’ve really enjoyed reading ‘A Hare Marked Moon- from Bhutan to Yorkshire, a story of an English Stupa’ by David Lascelles. (I understand he is a patron of Jamyang Leeds). Lots I did not know about stupas!

    Thank you Jackie, I really enjoyed reading that. I saw a group of statues of the 17 pandits when I was on Pilgrimage with Ven Robina, I’m just trying to remember where it was!

    Hello everyone, i am a bit late to this forum, but made it eventually! I live in Essex England, and I’m a retired teacher, grandmother and part-time carer.

    I feel so fortunate to be able to study the Lam Rim, and other subjects with Geshe Namdak and all of you. I have been a student at Jamyang London since 2014, and was fortunate to study with Geshe Tashi, and I have also taken refuge there, and also with Venerable Robina. I was so lucky to go to Lawudo and to India with her in 2019.

    I’m so looking forward to when we can all meet and study together ‘in person’ but am also grateful for the technology that has been available for us to study during lockdown.
