Hi everyone.

Lovely to hear all your news - can't wait to see the photos. All sounds very exciting. Would love to see a photo of the painting you are doing.
We are all well. James is in Memphis again! Got to get to work now.
Have fun! Love hearing all your news.
LOL sez xxxxxxx

Arrghh - who would believe it! We have found internet access ... and STA are upgrading their server so we can't updat the blog!

We are in Nakuru buying paint for our 3 day task of painting a large map of Africa on the local primary school's wall. Boys are hopefully going to join in some classes too.

We've got another week at Kembu before heading for Lake Naivasha and back to Nairobi for the onward flight to Nepal.

Thanks for all the messages - it's lovely to read and know that we're at least a little bit in touch!

Lots of love

C, L, B and T

Dear Clare's Mum, thank you so much for passing on info about Clare and family. It sounds like they are having a lovely time. Can't wait to see some pictures once they get connected.

For Everyone : we've just spoken to Clare. They're loving the farm but internet access still hopeless. Last week the whole system was down. So no hope of a blog, but lots of love to you all. Things just may be easier in Kathmandu, in two weeks plus time or so. Greetings : the Flemings and Clare's mum.

hi ben and little tom(maybee)i am soory i sent you a EMAIL see you in 6 months

All is v. well with the Family except for the frustrating times in internet cafes! After dream-time at the Kenya Coast they are safely on the farm in the uplands, near Clare's childhood home/school. Boys now enjoying dogs instead of pools!. They'll update the blog as soon as possible. Greetings from Clare's Mum.

Hi, too, Denise! They are having a wonderful time at the Coast : snorkelling etc. I bet your bro. has the most gorgeous tan! It will be good to see the photos! Nice to hi-jack the blog to send a message to you!!! Love to you all - Clare's Mum!!

For ALL : text from Clare : family safely at the Kenya Coast. 'Bliss'. No internet access so we'll have to be patient! All v. well so far : lots of lions in the Mara. A week's holiday by the sea now. Greetings from Clare's Mum!

Hi All,

Wow, it's amazing looking at all the photos. So strange to see you all when you are so far away, but you all look very chilled and happy!

Life goes on as normal here. Jack has decided to leave college as he was not enjoying it and we are now trying to decide what he is going to do next!

Speak again soon.

Lots of love Sarah & Co xx
