last day in SA today, tomorrow i return to Kenya. so i guess this may be the last post for a wee while as we all know i'm not that good on the ol contact side o things back there!
Many thanks to Lucy's family, Auntie Vee and Mike for welcoming us at the bus station, great to have an escort in a comfy car after the suspensionless bus plus use of computers/washing machines and all manner of modern electrical items muchly appreciated as was curry - not sumt we've had for a while!
the time i have spent here in SA has been a great opportunity to rekindle links with a side of the family that is now dwindling what with the lack of my grandparents and father on that side. Milton, Niki, Richard and Kate have been fabulous hosts welcoming me right into their lives here, i have also gotten the chance to meet my Nana's cousins Rodney and David and their wives who are both appropriately called Joan!
it has also been a great eyeopener into a side of Africa that i had no idea existed. i knew that there were Brits living over these sides but never imagined the standard of living here, no jokes: most of the time one wouldn't guess that you were in Africa at all!
Joberg is highly developed but there is still a long way to go as far as internal relations go; apartheid wasn't that long ago.
so until i get to a computer again, love to all my readers and please pray for peace in both Kenya and Zimbabwe.
