"We cannot thank you enough for the magic that you portrayed on Wednesday - the incredible amount of fascinating knowledge about Bhutan and your most beautiful, extremely high quality images. You transported us to another world and we were quite literally bowled over by the experience. There was truly a fantastic atmosphere in the hall and we have been overwhelmed by the glowing reports that we keep hearing from members, not to mention a string of complimentary emails. "

"Your lecture was so well receive by all our members and their enthusiastic response was palpable in the hall afterwards. The lecture feedback forms were glowing and unanimously the committee voted it outstanding. Your breadth of knowledge and love for this magical, tiny Himalayan Kingdom was there for all to see. What a beautiful place it is and you gave us a wonderful insight into its history, art and culture and how it has managed to preserve its traditional Buddhist values over centuries while at the same time embracing progress and adopting some of the inventions from the western world."
