Clearly I am getting used to life in Kenya!! We also spent some of last night chasing escaped chickens around the garden and the neighbours house, got over excited by post coming with week 2 and week 3 of "Strictly" (thanks Mum DV...

The World Cup has been and gone, mostly noteworthy for the level of abuse we received on behalf of England's poor showing. It was s...

Hi all!! Firstly sorry for the lack of blog this month, the Cyber Cafe that we use is still not working so this is being done via mobile internet.
