Well, it seems that everything's changing n Kisweera nowadays ... We're just 2 days away from our 9 month mark, which has coincided within a week of SUzanny and Sharonny (the knife-wielding psycho baby), having another sister - Sitenda. So we brought our gift of a cabbage (?), for fear of not knowing what else to give to newborn babies ... Fiona and her 3 girls (Viola, Esther and Eva), have left Kisweer and moved to Bukuya (3 hours away), to be with her older d...

Well, finally Uganda is in the news for something that isn't related to its ragingly homophobic legislation!

I'm now teaching English, Maths and SST (geography/history) to p4,p5,p6 and p7 across three different schools. 2. I've learnt how to make the best Ugandan dish (and more importantly, the cheapest) Katogo. This involves boilin...

KB v. YKM: And I'm finally back to Myanzi for the new school term, after travelling over 800 kilometres across East Africa! We've headed home at the end of the dry season, and its astounding to see how far the landscape is affected. What once used to be lush red soils filled with weaving deep greens of maize fields and papyrus plantations has given way to an orange dust track complete with yellowing banana plants an upsetting lack of ripe fruit.
