Rain rain rain…





Sierra Leone is the second wettest capital in the world with 3ft of rain in both July and August. Cataracts like this develop outside our gate up to three times a day. Living things burst with vitality; frogs bellow, plants crowd one another, mould creeps over everything, covering the walls (brilliant white four months ago) and everything in our bedroom if we don’t run the air conditioner.

News
Helen’s plaster cast is off and her wrist is recovering very well.

The general and presidential elections have gone very smoothly. Thanks for your prayers.

Dave’s Mum (87) moved from her home of 25 years to a granny flat 3 months ago, and is not so well. Dave, who is being covered by another VVF surgeon for two weeks later this month will take the opportunity to visit Mum for 3-4 days.

Our first grandchild is expected any moment. Tenterhooks!
