Hello Cheers soph good to hear from you, the rafting was awsome and way better and scarier than in Scotland. Hope becca had a good birthday and hope the running is going well. I'll give u a txt when I'm near Brough station on the 16th so u can bring Dom to come and meet me when I get off
News from Home Hi, Matt
Missing you, it feels as though you've been away ages but I bet time's speeding by for you. The photos are great especially the ones of the cubs. I guess you won't want to come home after this adventure. I look forward to reading the next instalment.
Love Mum
PS Dad is on his canal boat trip now but hopefully his experience won't be like white water rafting as I don't think he'd cope with that!!
Hello Aww bless, I'm missing you too but I'm having the time of my life so I don't wanna wish the rest of my trip away. Not much things I wanna do now apart from the croc park and golf :) I sent Sophie a message saying happy birthday to bec but not sure she got it?
Saturday 29 September Glad to hear you are working hard! Can't wait for you to post some photos of Nkoya, I'm so jealous, I'd love to 'cub sit'. Think I'd be pretty useless at the rest though! Dad is getting ready for his annual boat trip but first we are going to Becca's 9th birthday party so you are not the only one who'll be surrounded by dangerous animals today!
Keep taking the tablets and talk soon, love Mum
Grrr Lol I think you do, even the shit jobs are not that bad anyway so it's all good. Did you tell me not to mention to cara what project you and charmaine are doing next? Just incase I don't put my foot in it
Message from home Can't believe you are clearing up lion shit when I could never get you to clean out your rabbit! Anyway, the photos are great, keep sending them. Is it true you have to avoid direct eye contact with lions? Are there any really big insects around? Look forward to hearing more, love Mum
Yo Lol rabbits are not as fun as lions, I'll have to borrow someone's laptop to get more pics on but I'll do it sone. They did mention the eye contact thing when I got here but because we're working with them daily I don't think it matters too much with us. Just got back from rafting which was awesome and I bought a DVD so u can see how manic it was. Love u lots
Matt
Back from Spain Hi Matt, £12 win on our lotto, might be the big one next week so you will be able to play with the lions for the rest of your life.
Mum's turn now - Keep sending the pictures, they're great although the lions look a lot bigger than I expected somehow! Ignore any thoughts of a 'hand to paw fight' and keep taking the malaria tablets.

At Last! Glad to hear you are taking the malaria tablets, that's one worry off my mind! Looking forward to hearing more details about life in Livingstone and your nephew is desperate to see some pictures of the 'tigers' he insists Uncle Matt is looking after. Talk soon! Mum
All is well Hello hope everyone back home is good, im really loving it out here and ive not even done any of the trips yet :) im just getting a bit frustrated by the lack of internet and so im not able to get pictures on this blog.Tell dad its around 38 degrees most days but the work isnt that difficult so its not too bad.
tan/fight Hi MATT!! Hope your enjoying yourself out there. Bet those early starts are tough? Have you got a tan yet? and have you had a hand to paw fight with hero yet?
Awesome Yo mate im having a brilliant time thanks mate, the mornings arnt too bad cause it's worth getting up for :) I'd love to fight hero but no-one goes anywere near him, he's a big dangerous boy :) u looking fwd to yr wedding?
I'm a time served aircraft engineer but have decided to do something different, enjoyable and rewarding by travelling to zambia to work with lions for 4 weeks. As most of you will know its something i've been looking forward to doing for a very long time now so im extremely excited. Theres not a great deal to post about yet but i'll soon be there and hopefully get some great shots.... full info
