This is my mother’s family’s mansion, crumbling as it is in parts. It’s in Sheikhupur, India, a town that belonged to my mother’s family. My mother’s cousins, elderly, unmarried females, live there even now. They are protected by Samoyed dogs! I just found all this out when I was in Pakistan a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if the love of Samoyeds is inherited!
The two ladies are my mother’s cousins and live in this crumbling mansion, protected by Samoyeds!

This is astonishing! Do you know the year it was built?
How on earth did Samoyeds make it to India??!! I came upon a compound in Tamil Nadu that was guarded by a pair of huge and ferocious St. Bernards, in a mountain enclave that was once a resort for British Army officers and their families during the summer months, because it is in the mountains, cooler and fewer malaria bearing mosquitos (although there were plenty of bedbugs 😜
I love seeing your photos and reading your wonderful stories about your family. And everything else! xxx

Amazing, right! I’ll ask my aunt when it was built, she had the pictures and is writing a book in Urdu called “Ruins Speak”! My mother’s family used to vacation in the hills for the cool weather and clean air. Xxxooo
