Coming Home

Beach Combing

Well, it’s nearly time to go home. For those I haven’t got around to calling or emailing yet, I’m due back in the UK on 1st April with Hannah and Tommy to follow on the 28th of April.

We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone once we get back and will start getting round to visiting by the middle of May. We’ll be based in London for at least a month while I find work, then we will probably move back to Manchester (or, hopefully, somewhere just outside Manchester + garden…)

There is much we have been up to here since the last post all those months ago, including a trip to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. I have uploaded a good few pictures of this trip to Flickr today. Have a look at the images over to the right here on the blog, or click this link. Here’s a quick Tommy pic for starters though.

Tommy Close up

We’ve really passed on blogging of late firstly due to the insane costs we were shelling out for ADSL (now well and truely ditched) and the due to the difficulty in connecting via GPRS at home. I actually had a post written and ready to go a week or so back, then dropped my pen drive on the way to the Internet cafe to post it…

Suffice it to say, stay tuned. There will be a lot more information here soon about what we’ve been up to. Indeed, Hannah will actually have to start posting after the 31st of March, because I’ll be checking here very day for updates on life in Kisumu.

Tommy is not so happy about returning to the UK. He has made it clear that although it’s fine for us to go to the UK and visit, we must come home afterwards. Home for him means Kisumu, Omundi, Lillian and Kisumu International School.

It’s going to be quite a change for him - and for all of us.
