Arrival In Kenya

Thankfully our journey couldn't have gone more smoothly with no hassle about baggage, customs or visas... as David said people must have been praying right then! We had a lovely welcome from Mister Austin who is the smiliest man in Kenya and was so kind to us.  However after the heat, the reality of trying to sort banking and negotiate grocery shopping we have to be honest and say on our first night our over riding feeling was what on earth have we done?  After a long sleep and some much needed relaxation for a couple of days we began to adjust.

 Sadly all four of us were smitten with food poisoning and felt dreadful so as we arrived in our new home in the dark to a power cut we were in quite a state!  Jane's mum, Maureen, has been very kind to us and we have been so comforted by the prayer army back home that we do feel a lot better now.

 Today the boys have had a great play with their African friends and after a few meaningful conversations with people here we are reminded that we are in the right place and we know we will adjust.  The boys had their first home school today and really loved it, their Dad enjoyed it too as they were hungry to learn and well behaved!  This table on the balcony is where home school took place.

 David has had some very sad moments missing his friends at home but he has enjoyed unpacking his things and reorganising his drawer over and over again.  He said it made it feel more like home.

.  One lovely thing about life out here is that John and I have enjoyed much more time together.  John hasn't transformed into a ninja but is enjoying a "coolit"  to keep himself cool - def in the temperature way rather than the looks!
