Who would have thought the Pink Princess would be up to all these adventures. Your doing a great job. We are always thinking of you Catherine. Imagine blue skies, golden sand, hot guys and lovely cold beer....... all coming your way nrxt week in OZ!! Love you lots The Young Ones

Hi Cate We had a good night with your mum and dad last night celebrating Sue's and Sabrina's birthdays. We had a real Irish day earlier, watching Luton Irish and London Irish playing rugby, followed by a few diddle dee tunes and some dancing - I'll make an Irish woman out of your mother yet!

I was talking to Miss Daly at the same event and she said she is going out to Kenya for a 2 term sabbatical, so Africa seems to be the place to be.

We're very proud of you and we'll keep you in our prayers, although you seem to be praying for the whole of Luton at the moment! You may have us all singing and clapping at mass when you come home.

Lots of love and treasure every moment, good or not so good, and enjoy the rest of your time there. xxxx

Wigan. Bentley's. Hungover.
Wish you were here to experience it with us!
lots of love Rach and Siggers xx

Hello All!

I have just updated and worked out how to do the photos but it is taking along time so expect them within the next week!

People have been asking about the Orphanage address. Send anything to;

Jacob Sianungu

Church of Christ Mission

Heart Spring Orphanage

P.O. Box 60132

Livingstone

Zambia

You will need to ask for a rebate certificate at the Post Office so the Orphanage don't have to pay for the package to enter the country. Tell them it is for a charity.

Thank you so much to those that send stuff. I will also be trying to organise a clothes collection in the summer when I'm back so if you'd rather keep the stuff until then that would be good too. Probably best to include a note in with the packages that you know me and maybe a return address or email address, I know Jacob would like to be able to communicate some sort of thanks. Don't worry he is not like Patrick he will definitely not ever hassle anyone for anything.

Love you all lots xxx

Waiting patiently for your next update Catherine.......... missing you xx

Hi Catherine

Cable TV, but no running water? lol. Not a nice experience at the school hope you can put it behind you. Ivor's family sound like lovely people.

Quite glad the Australian woman broke the bungie rope.

Love you loads.
