Thanks for all your questions, 6F . Yes, I’ll try to add a few more books each time I go to Nanyuki. Remember that the longest journey starts with a single step!

Abi, they’re African elephants (the Indian ones have smaller ears, I think). JJ, about 12 feet, I’d guess. The giraffes are harmless, unlike the elephants, Eli, which are VERY dangerous and cause great damage to the trees in search of tender leaves. So, no, I shan’t be going anywhere near them unless I’m in a car!

The children are beginning to speak more English and I shall hope to get them to write about themselves in a week or two. I am getting to know Class Four quite well, now.

Here are some more pics, with the following captions (not necessarily in the right order:

· You don’t see many of these on the way to Shepton Mallet

· A typical homestead. They’re dotted all around the area

· Do you recognize the hat, Mrs Keirl?

· Enjoying the gifts from All Hallows

  6. Mr Ellery what are the houses like?
    Have you been in their houses?
    Are their houses quite small?
    How many rooms are there in a typical kenyan house is there only one room or are there about three rooms?
    Remember to take lots of pictures so we can all see what a wonderful time you had and/or a great experince.
    Do the children enjoy school can you ask them for us and tell us what they said.

    Have a great time keep posting comments for us to read.

  7. Dear David, Third time lucky! Just had my first "blogging" lesson from Liz Green! Wonderful reading your news on life in the African wilds. The Morgan household are very jealous! Have you managed to contact the Hanegraafs yet for a hot shower - perhaps it is too far away? Will continue to read your news with interest. Have fun. By the way it is HAKUNA MATATA - the "HA" is quite an important addition!!! Best wishes the Morgans
