Charlotte I think you have inspired us all with your adventures in Tanzania. Your blog has been amazing and sounds (unsurprisingly) like you’ve made a real impression over there. We are very lucky to have you back: D.... and I will now try to win your affections with magic beans!

Susan King I really enjoyed reading of your experiences and look forward to hearing about them first hand when you feel you can squeeze some coffee and cake alongside the mince pies! Do I hear that you'll be teaching at Beaconhurst in the summer? And what are your other plans? Do get in touch when you can.

Rhiannon Haha! Well I don't know who suggested that you write a book, but I would have to agree that your blog entries were definitely book worthy :D Just what you wanted to hear I'm sure! Anyway, reading them has been one of the few highlights of my life these past 3 months, so Thank you for writing them so well. xxxxx

Allie Aww, Linz! Had a tear in my eye reading that. Sounds like an absolutely unforgettable experience! Enjoy your time in Zanzibar & don't be too sad! I look forward to hearing all your tales in person at some point soon! Take care xx

Susan King Some of that last entry summing up your experiences would be perfect for the next FP newsletter, so make sure you keep a copy!

Susan King Your writing is always so vivid; it must be something about the English teaching you had! I can picture you and the children so clearly - but am really looking forward to seeing your photos and hearing about it first hand. Do get in touch when you're home.

fiona Aw linz you've had me crying and its not even me saying bye lol. Great to hear your off exploring :) bet your coming bk with thousands more freckles lol. See you soon fi x cant wait to hear your stories x

Alan McGregor Hi Linz, what a wonderful blog once again! Mum and I have both just read it and I was almost in tears and mum was in tears - empathising with the difficult day or two you must have just gone through. We are both well aware that home will be rather dull by comparison to what you have now grown accustomed to in Yamba, Tanga etc but as it will be Christmas in full swing and holiday time for many including mum, me and Neil ( and for many of your friends ) I guess it might make your adjustment a bit less difficult than most times of the year. We both hope you and Emily, Efi and Cath all have a great time on exotic and warm Zanzibar and then back in Tanzania before you head homewards. Hopefully we will get a chance to speak with you again when you are settled in on Zanzibar. Safe journey. Lots of love. Mum & Dad xxx

Susan King I can't believe this is probably your last blog. I've really enjoyed reading them; you're a born teacher and the perfect volunteer. Enjoy your holiday and do get in touch when you're home.
