Hiya T!
Many apologies for not posting a message sooner but have only managed to get settled in my new job and get myself organised, not good for a project manager I know!
I have read with great interest your blogs of events over the last few weeks and wow what great reading it makes! Your descriptions of the kids and your day to day activites certainly make me feel humble so I can't imagine how it must be making you feel, no wonder you are nearly in tears most days!
Anyway I just wanted to post a message to say, Hi, still here, still reading your blogs and keep up the great work and take care.

Hi
Just read your fantastic blog and I am so pleased that I am wearing my waterproof mascara! It is so moving and I can certainly see a bestseller in the making; when are you starting your book? I just wish I had your talent with the written word and you always were the best teacher (bet you don't use the ruler on them like you did with Ian Matthews!).
What a wonderful experience you are having with so many lifetime memories every day. It will be so hard leaving them but we are all looking forward to seeing you again and helping you to save for your next trip!!!??? I wish you could stay forever because I really enjoy reading your blog.
See you soon
Lots of love
Helen

Home coming party in aid of the charity - excellent idea - get organising!!
I'll put a Kanga on & do bum wiggling!! Or sing my Standard III rap. Whatever!
It would be cool. I look forward to seeing you all again (though not looking forward to leaving Yamba!).
Thank-you again for all your kind words!

Hi Tina
Glad to hear you are having a wicked time. I can't believe you're going to be back soon - it feels like I only spoke to you yesterday! I love the pics and your journeys sound incredible.
How are you getting on with the teaching?? I'm sure you have no troubles and the kids love having you teach them J
Take care and see you soon.

Hi Tina,
Fab Blog, really nice to find out what you are up to. So now there is another Tina in the world (Go help us all), she looks gorgeous too. Can't wait for you to get back and to see all your pictures and listen to all your stories. I think that we should organize a coming home party (for charity of course) so that you can tell us all about your adventures.
Your are coming back aren't you?

Will message again soon.
Love you!

Hi Tina,
Your updates were sooooo moving. I know you will have so much to tell us when you get back. I can't believe you have been away for this length of time already.
Hope the rest of your stay goes well. I think it will be hard for you to leave when it is time.
Hopefully will get another instalment before you come home. You know we are all eagerly anticipating the next chapter....
Take care, mate.

Hi there Miss Popular
Wish I could climb a mountain like you. What an epic journey you had. From the photos I can see that you have your head in the clouds and enjoying every minute of it.
Can't wait to here more about your experiences. Perhaps we should arrange an evening fund raising for your next trip! You seem made for the job. Bet they have learnt loads from you.
Have a safe trip back down that mountain.
Lots of love
Helen

Me - Tina In Tanzania
I am sitting in an intenet cafe in Tanga Tanzania - 5 hours from Yamba - no so hot and sticky this time - but am glad I had a tissue with me - as you all your kind words have got to me!
Thank-you so much for taking the time to write - I really appreciate it.
I will bake on my return I promise Clair - I hope Julia will make a cake too (hint hint) - and I have figured out how to do a jumper. I will tell Caroline here that Liz has put wheels in motion for the WI - and if anyone else is interested Caro would like me to spread the word - get volunteers if possible & obviously donations - t really is such a beatutiful place with beautiful hard working peaceful people!
I have so much to tell you I imagine i'll get kicked out of here before I am thorough.
Thank-you
Tina

Hi Tina, how are things ? I do hope you get these messages today as I know you were going to the village.
This might even be the last time before you come home ! i can't believe you are more than half way through youir venture. And you'll have so many tales to tell us. How is baby Tina and the knitting club have you worked out how to make a jumper ?
All the family is well, we've just had a bank holiday and the weather was awful it rained most of the time. The boys got started on my fire place so you'll see a big difference in it.
Liz has been asking after you (next door ) and has put the wheels in motion for the WI and also Wend and of course my mum. We all miss you but are so happy that you are getting on well and having this wonderful experience.
Take care my sweet and i'll keep txting although I know you have been having trouble with your phone.
