Hi Tonky! Took me until now to work out how to let the computer log on to your offexploring site rather than always defaulting to our own! Looks like you're having fun if the photos are anything to go by. We are never able to get to a comp that will upload ours. How's the teaching going? Our time at the children's shelter inKenya was fab but unfortunately was run by an alcoholic mad woman who made things a little more difficult than perhaps it should have been. Managed to improve my Swahili a bit although the boys also insisted on trying to teach me Kikuyu as well so it was a bit the case of 2 steps forward and one back! Got to run, internet caf time is running out ... again

Hey Tonky, Sorry haven't been in touch, didn't know about this web site, now Mr and Mrs Campbell don't need to pass on all my messages. The photos look great, you're obviously having a brilliant time.
Everything is hunky dory here, school is ticking along nicely, Gareth is still on the scene and the house is fab. Had some trouble getting gas people to give quotes for the boiler- obviously a busy time for them!! Been keeping your folks up to date.
Hope you don't mind but I've passed on your school address to some friends, Viv and Ian who live in Jersey, they're coming to Equader on hol and were interested in taking your details if they have any probs.
Anyway, the bell has gone for period 5 so must dash.
Take care,Hazel X

Tonks your photos are amazing! Well have to send you some from here too - wont be half as spectacular though! Would be great to see some of were you live and the school etc? We won at Volleyball V Eggy B after the traditional 3rd set "Tonky" shout!- making us 3rd in the league at the moment!Yippee! Have fun!

Hey Tonks - thanks for your very prompt response! You must be under alot of pressure too with all those huge classes you are teaching! As for the white water rafting and the sink hole jumping Im glad to see you are still the same mad b***** you were here in the UK. Thanks for Bens email - we are all really confused as Janet and Pete and talking about meeting him in Cape Town? Eh? The bike ride went well but it was supposed to enthuse the novice mountain bikers such as Gareth, Hazel, Alan and the new dance teacher Ali but Im not sure that getting lost in Cann Woods for over an hour as it was getting dark was really a good advert for the fun of our bigger rides! Ill sign off now and have a look at your photos of the trail - you sound as if you are having the time of your life and good luck with the salsa chick! 10pm dont forget! Miss your knobbly knees! xx

Hi Tonky,
Everything looks great, but where's the pub

Hey Tonky,
Isn't technology wonderful (not the way I used to teach it mind you!)
I am so envious of you (and my 'lot' isn't bad as you know)
Let me know when you are next likely to be in the Uk (or France) and I'll see if Lisa or Parky will let me impose again so I can catch up on all your exploits.
