Now that we've found a new quicker way to download photos had better explain this first entry with photos!! Yes, like big kids we had an Easter egg hunt. Kristen, on right had brought Easter eggs back from a trip to Australia. Ken says that I have to tell you that he wore his very dark sunglasses when posing with the girls!!! Fiona, who is a Theatre Director at home is letting her agent know so fees can be paid and Kristen is notifying her lawyer, unfortunately...

So have sent Ken off on his own to Good Shepherd to run a Maths and Science workshop [not my expertise] and catching up with bits and pieces before going to St Michael's next week.

Morning all from PNG! Friday here at last. Seems to have been a very full week. Sunday we found a different Church to go to. Quite near home. About 60 people in a makeshift Church whilst they wait for planning permission to build a new one in the same compound. Very friendly people and the young lady next to me was very helpful.
