charles fraser Hi Kiney Hope all is going well with you We are all fine i think its great what you are doing keep well Lots of love Uncle Chut The Kiwi

Lozza the Brave and Mizza the Good (ish) So...Kiney, you are in Ghana making bricks out of mud. A noble task. It is much easier, in that part of the world, to make mud out of bricks. (as you probably discovered during the storm we saw the photo of). (Apologies for finishing a sentence with a preposition, but I sense that semantics is not something you would be out of, into, or up for). I love tropical storms, (from a safe place). 5cm of rain does not sound alot, and in fact it isn't, if measured vertically. But horizontally, it bolws you away. We are sat with your mum and dad, playing bridge. (Your dad is lying in a stupor across the doorway, and we have to walk along his torso as a sort of bridge to get from the kitchen to the hallway, thus the name of the game). Me and Mizza have just gone 4 No trumps, which means we have to eat four tins of beans, then walk across your dad without farting. In fact we got a grand slam - Mizza fell into the wall, chest first. Well, that's all the news from this end for the moment. Don't worry - we are looking after your parents well and will keep them safe until your return. I will try to encourage them to keep in contact, but you know what parents are like. It's all we can do to get them to keep their room tidy. Lots of love from us all Us

Shelley Hi Kiney, Glad to hear that you are having a good time. I hope you are enjoying the hot weather, it is freezing here. We are just back from a walk in the Cotswolds and have mud up to our knees, well, I have mud up to my knees, your Mum looks very clean and tidy as usual !! Enjoy the rest of your time away. Love Shelley

Usha Hi Kiney, We have just come back from a walk and your mum is making Shelley and myself a cup of tea and I was wondering how you were getting along. It appears that you are enjoying it and I wondered if there are any possibilities for a GAP experience for middle aged women! I would love to know how you are doing regarding your contact lenses so that I can report back to Suresh. Take care of yourself and lots of love-Usha xx

Taggart family Hi Kiney, Sounds like you're having a great time building with mud bricks. You could build your folks a mud extension on your return. Claire wants to be an architect so you'd make a good team. It's damp & cold in Cov so you won't be missing it! Rach is back to Oxford and Claire has A levels tomorrow.... Happy New Year Frances, Chris, Rachel & Claire

Serena Hi Kiney! How are you? I hope your travels are going well! I miss you so much, I'm so sorry I haven't been in more contact with you lately, I will try to be better at it lol. Talk to you soon Love always, Serena xx
