So, we’re back, our blogs up again (mostly) and life continues for us in sunny Kisumu. There are a few changes though. Just as we returned, school broke up for Summer. Now I have tommy with me for the whole day. I’m in the process of arranging rotating play dates so that he doesn’t get too bored and I don’t go loopy. Luckily we now have another resident in the house, Omundi, who Tommy can play with. I’ll let Hannah talk about that later though (she promises to actually put a post up later today). If you look in the side bar, there should be a little picture of Omundi there. If you click on it, it will take you to our Flickr account where you can see larger versions of the images and comment on them, if you like.

We have moved to an enormous house in its own grounds.
It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge living room, a study, and what seems to us the equavalent a botanical garden.
It comes with a live in gardener and two guard dogs too. We now have a live in house help (we have staff housing too) and a nanny who comes half days to help with Tommy. The (ensuite) guestroom is ready to receive visitors, so when you fancy a trip over here, let us know. As yet, no one has given us definite intention of visiting (except Gill and John who we’ll be seeing here at Christmas). Please put a comment here if you are planning to come and see us this year.
PS, Our mobiles still work, but as yet our landline remains disconnected.
Sorry that we haven’t put anything on the website for a while. Its a sign of how busy we have been rather than problems with the site. Anyway, here’s a little update of our news…
After our driest Christmas since we were both about nine, we celebrated David’s birthday with lashings of Tusker, Kenya’s number one beer (at least in our opinion).
