Daphne Bailie Very good blog lots of info which is so interesting, keep it up, although prob takes some time to jot down all you pair have been doing. Life in Lisburn in the rain, grey skies seems a bit dull - but did see Les Mis. Excellent but still prefer the live show. Had a lovely 6/7 mile walk by the Yellow River near Hilltown/Rostrevor and it did not rain. There were 11 of us, packed lunch by a babbling brook!! St Patrick's Day today and he did not turn even a small stone over !!. Supposed to bring good weather if it is sunny on 17 March. Have been a bit of a pain for Ian, had to ask him to sort out my printer and laptop but he is a "Wizard" Have passed your Losrobbos site on to my cousin Pat Haley who with her husband Barry live in Durban (also cousin of your Gran Isobel Kirkwood). Pat and Barry head off on 14 April to visit their son, daughter in law and two grandaughters in Richmond in the north of South Is,. New Zealand . Wishing you both God's blessing, good health and encouragement in all your work in Peru.

KP I played bus bingo in Peru! Hannah Marshall won. This blog reads like Karen wrote it. Lots of love to you both. xo.
