"The Returnee..."

We are in the middle of a roller coaster of transition. We left Uganda on 1st July, and travelled to visit Dan's family in America... Now we arrive in England, where I have not lived since 1992, almost twenty years ago... I left young free and single, and return with an American husband and two children, aged 11 and 9... I hope to describe the experiences of "the Returnee", with, no doubt, flashbacks to our African life, and commentary from my children along the way...

Ostriches!


On a lighter note, today Abby had a schoolfriend, Charlotte, over for the day. We went to a favourite place of ours outside Gloucester, Over Farm, which is a huge farm with a beautiful farm shop, as well as a collection of exotic and not-so-exotic animals which you can feed with packets of animal nuts bought in the shop. They have ponies, donkeys, sheep of course and goats, pigs, a buffalo, and... ostriches. The ostriches have managed to hatch a baby this year, which is quite an achievement here. It was a lovely sunny cold December day, and great to be outdoors. And to warm up with hot chocolate afterwards!
