cat I should be mightily shocked by baby-drugging stories, but as I can remember clearly drugging all three of you with some magic 'juice' on the 14 hour flights from HK, when I had three children under four, i don't think I can take the moral high ground. xxx Captain
Penny Baines Love reading your blog - keep them coming. Had your parents at Hale Barn for dinner last night, five courses and six wines.... much love, your favourite Aunt, Penny xxxx
Sara So thrilled to get the update and well done on your promotion! Really glad you liked the cafetiere and am sure it's being put to good use with all the great coffee you have there! Can't wait to hear all the news when the family get back after Christmas - you must be so excited. Lots of love Jimmy from us all x x x

Captain Cat So good to have the blog on line again, especially the bit about the projector ceremony, so true about how we Brits want to do everything quietly, but you were obviously not going to be allowed to get away with that. You'll have to let us know what to bring out in January..shall we introduce all the classic UK board games to the Upper West region? xxxxxx
Anna Panna Love this blog and as Ag's said, massively cheered me up, such a great thing to cheer one self up mid-week!! I love hearing about the projector, such a lovely story. I think another hobby could be really good skipping, when you can flick it all about and doing twists and turns and fun stuff like that?! But yeah anything you want us to bring out, balloons, pass the parcel, glow sticks etc... there is going to be a lot of luggage space..? Already getting so excited about the xmas trip to Ghana! Missing you. love you xxxx
Gbits So sorry that, when you thought you were shocking the ancient G's, they were shocking you. Time we grew up?, down? you were so generous sparing time to come and see us when you were home. It was lovely to see you in good heart and know that the skills for your CV are accumulating. Do you have a party trick? I used to be able to touch my nose with my tongue (long nose, short upper lip) but it had limited entertainment value and I now seem to have forgotten how. Much love Gbits.
Wooze Hi Jimbo. Having read you latest blogs together I have come to two clear conclusions - 1. You are having an ace time and taking everyone else along with the fun, including puking, superman godson (lucky chap); and 2. You are well advised to use African ladies of traditional build as padding on buses, but only use children as airbags in an emergency... Love your blogs - so keep them coming. All love, Wooze xx
re: Halloween, hunchbacks and child abuse, a casual weekend in Bolga.
Mike Scott James, as YOUR godfather I thought time I joined in. I don't remember ever pouring illegal liquor down you or dressing you up as Superman when you were that age, probably because you were in California and I wasnt , but clearly somebody did....Great to hear you are having such a successful time. Have a very jolly Christmas and we'll look forward to hearing all from the family on their return (and then compare it to your version on your next blog).Love from all Scotts

Anna Jimbo, Amazing blog and it sounds like you had an amazing Halloween, your costumes look more inventive then most people in lodnon, especially the London girls, who all think it is an except able idea to just dress really sluttly on Halloween!! I can understand though the slight trepidation at letting you be godfather! Missing you lots and can't wait for Ghana new year, your Xmas pressie will obviously be coming with me to Ghana so expect lots of pressies on boxing day!! Whoop whoop... Love you Anna Panna xxxx

Ags Take up gymnastics, alongside your juggling and tight-rope walking, and then you can join the Ghanain circus (or start it up if they dont already have one)!! Good start to my day Jimbo reading this blog - good to have them back! xxxxxx
