An open message for Mr and Mrs Green

Hallo, Mr and Mrs G and family, and thank your for your message at the weekend.

I’m so glad that spring is in the air for you…J tells me that the new fruit trees are blossoming and the daffodils I planted are in flower. She’s taken pictures.

We have just organized my departure date from Sanga…Friday week, April 1^st….a day or two earlier than I’d have preferred but a good time nevertheless, because the children will be able to wave me off (if they want to!). I’ll have three days to wind down in Nairobi before J arrives on Tuesday.

Now that my departure is getting closer, yes, it seems that the time has just disappeared.

As for my first home meal? Well, if you can keep a secret….we had Maasai roast meat yesterday in Nanyuki….rib of beef steaks cut into pieces by the waiter and served with chapatis, all eaten with fingers. Yum yum! And I treated myself to some cheese at the supermarket , so I’m not doing too badly really. I am looking forward to a nice lasagne with some garlic bread and salad, though!

Being home? Easy:

· Seeing all of you again

· Some nice pillows

· Getting up to my workshop for some turning on the lathe

Skyping seems to be up and running again, so we’ll arrange some viewings soon, I hope!
