Welcome home, despite the dust and spiders


We traveled safely and intact back to Kagando and found that the dry season had brought a layer of dust everywhere, and thousands of spiders and their webs in every possible space. The spinoff is that there are no mosquitoes or other flying creatures around. After a spring clean we feel ready to re-start.

We were both warmly welcomed, especially Dave, as the hospital is down to 5 doctors for the next month.

Six weeks in the UK



We have just returned from a very refreshing time in the UK. We spent a wonderful last week with the family on the Isle of Arran off the West Coast of Scotland. This included climbing the 2,800 ft Goat Fell, some wild cycle rides, and getting to know our precious new granddaughter, who is 10 weeks old. She is lovely.

We also spent a week looking after Dave’s 90 year old Mum, who is quite frail, and looking forward to her heavenly home.
