Hi James

We are enjoying your reports: it makes us SOOO jealous that you are in Takoradi and we are stuck here!

We are impressed at the speed you are getting stuck in! and glad you are enjoying the high Life band. Hope the gig went well. I look forward to receiving a recording at some point, so we can have it playing on the web site.

Say hello to Justy and Emily, Justy is such a great cook isn't she!

Love from all of us here

Hi James, hoping your having a wicked time in Ghana. It's not the legendary St. Agnes; but I bet it's still amazing. Glad to see you got the aerobic off the roof. Try to refrain for teaching the kids Beethoven's Fifth and your quality goal keeeping skills just yet. Lovin' the photos. Have a seriously cool time. Good luck.

Hey James! Get some photos on here. Missin you loads already and wondering how it is going and what you are up to. Good luck with everything mate. X

Greetings Jimbo,

You must be there by now. Well done! Have a great time, and bring back some groove power for us all 

Funk be with you,

Hi  James, what a great way of keeping in touch! Looking forward to reading the details and seeing some pics. Have a really great and rewarding time out in Ghana. Keep blowin' and take care of yourself. Jez and Cathy

Thank you very much for putting me on your distribution list. I am looking forward to reading your blogs. I hope you have a wonderful and fulfilling time in Ghana. Your project sounds very exciting. Good luck with it all and safe travelling where ever you go. Best wishes from Maggie, Tim and Martha (St.Agnes camp site)

Wow, a very inspiring diary you have there, makes my trip seems a little self-absorbed suddenly! Congratulations for organising all those fun-raisers, Mansek are vey lucky to have you and you're going to have such an amazing time. Only 6 weeks til I leave, will be infinitely cooler to contact you from far flung internet cafes rather than my bedroom! Take care of yourself x x x

Hi James

All the best for a great trip, hope everything goes well and look forward to seeing you on your safe return...

The trombone section is not the same without you, but the band still seems to being from strength to strength so hopefully you'll see an improvement by the time you get back.

Take care

John
