This week: Indian Summer
It's almost 30 years now since the British left India, but if Rudyard Kipling had gone with Jack Pizzey and a Man Alive film team to the once-fashionable hill resort of Ootacamund in Southern India, he would have felt entirely at home.
Seven thousand feet above the heat and turmoil of India, it was known to generations of expatriates as 'Snooty Ooty' and is still jealous of its reputation as queen of the hill stations. Ooty's summer social season is a major attraction for people wanting to escape the stifling plains below, and a handful of British people have chosen to make Ooty their home; still live much as Kipling's characters did.
Many of them have been there so long and England has changed so much that they have nowhere else to call home.
