BBQ

 

Nice to have warm light evenings. Barbecuing marshmallows on Saturday evening.

This week the traffic had been particularly bad and I have spent a lot more time than I would like, siting in jams. Twice I have had to drive on the pavement and I have made good use of my horn! We were praying in the prayer meeting this week about things that we find difficult in Nairobi. I was thinking about traffic and thinking it wasn't really worth praying about because what could God do about the Nairobi traffic! The next day I found a new short cut to school saving me loads of time sitting in traffic queues. The only downside of the new route is that it is a lot bumpier, still the kids love it as it is much more of an adventure on the way to school.

Back to Kenya

 

Having survived the coldest December in the UK for 100 years we are now back in sunny Kenya. It is nice to see the sun again but it is quite hot at the moment and uncomfortable to sleep at night. We also seem to have quite a few large cockroaches in the house which is really gross. The children started back at school yesterday. They were quite worried about going back, but everyone had a fantastic day. Caleb was helped by the promise of playing on the Wii when he got home. As usual the traffic was terrible on the journey to school and I had to fight my way in and out of the car park- no change there. A few photos of our time away to follow. If you can't tell from all the clothes, our children are the 3 at the back in the photo on a treasure hunt with their cousins.
