I love Darcey's mum! You're right... to really 'see' a country you have to understand and experience both the people and the culture you will then love, respect and appreciate it. In Uganda you were surrouded 24/7 by the culture and the people so it was easy. As you get better at Mandarin things will be easier. Take Darcy to Mrs Muslims restaurant to translate. We love you Em, why not take a week unpaid before summer camp?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wow Emma, just caught up with your blogs and fantastic photos, I absolutely love the one of you chillaxing on your balcony - I could have reached out for the tea? or it looked more like a Pimms to me, fantastic. The animals bits did nothing for me, but it sounds like you enjoyed them, that wine you was drinking was 46%!! Obviously helped with the digestion of the above. Love you loads, keep them coming. xxxx

Hi Emma

I'm keeping up with you and your adventures, glad to see you are enjoying yourself, keep up the good work lots of love

Hello Em

Owen says do you know that it is Easter soon? Will says he is getting on really well at high school. Owen gave Noo Noo a Louiseasaurus piggy bank for her birthday. Edie is saying a bit now, for example 2,3,3,2 and then she jumps from somewhere, this can be frightening as she doesn't always wait for someone to be there to catch her. No and Yes are well used she knows exactly what she wants. Ant has a new bus with amazing wheels, well thats what the boys say. I just asked Edie if she wanted to say anything to Emma and she blew a kiss. So a big kiss and hug from us all. xxx

Fantastic blog Emma. I found it quite emotional. It's great to know that you have 'really' settled in. Your balcony encounters sound very soothing. Inner peace springs to mind. £We love you lots & lots xxxxxx
