| 1st March 2007 Larraine | Hair raising! - From: Where's The Sun Gone ? Hi Andy once again, reading your blogs has me filled with awe! The climb (& descent) of Mount Kenya had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck. Quite a life changing experience for you - well done! I am full of admiration for you both. |
| 27th February 2007 Ben | Welcome back! - From: Where's The Sun Gone ? Time for a pint? 07717 790525. |

| 7th January 2007 Dad | National Express - From: Christmas In Paradise What a trip. Sounds a bit hairy on the bus but you obviously made it safely. Your experiences with Mr Banda must have been most frustrating and I hope that you are able to retrieve some of the missing material. You description of securing the solar panels sounds like very hard work and I only hope that your pupils appreciate all that you have donedespite all the problems that you have faced. No doubt the next few weeks will go all too quickly and the winter over here will be waiting for you as it is still very mild. Take care luv dad x |
| 23rd December 2006 Dad | What a journey! - From: A Night in The Mountains - Internet At Last Sorry to hear that you have been unwell and hope that the tonsils are back to normal now. It was great to hear you the other day at the Lodge and I obviously just caught you in time before you moved off to Tanzania. It all sounds a bit different to catching a No 3 bus to the West End but glad you made it safely in the end. Have a great Christmas and hope to talk to again soon Lots of love Dad |
| 22nd December 2006 Kirsty | Merry Christmas ! - From: A Night in The Mountains - Internet At Last Hi Andy and Kath, Have a fantastic Christmas out there and all the best for 2007. Hope you continue to have great adventures. Love, Kirsty |
| 12th November 2006 Lily | Q&A - From: The Village Road Show How long does it take to cook an egg in a solar cooker? Hpw long does it need to charge before hand? |
| 5th November 2006 G | Mosh Pit! - From: La Lutte Oh my long (sort of lost) missed friend ... I've only a second, but SO GLAD you made it out alive! Miss you too much, Bod! Will write next time I am near a pc in private! G x |
| 24th October 2006 David Cameron | hey, solar dude - From: Sunshine At Night Hey, Andy Just wanted to say, keep up all the great work out there- and together we really can save the planet!! I've taken a leaf out of your book and am now cycling to work every day. Tell you what, this lycra business is a bit itchy, innit!!! It's getting hot in heeerrrre! So take off my cagoule!! Cheers, Dave |
| 24th October 2006 Mrs Doyle | No tea without fire - From: Sunshine At Night Good day to you Brother Andrew, with Christmas fast approaching I have been asked by Father Ted if you can help out with a little query now. This year, the folks on Craggy Island would like to - ahem - erect (phnar) an ENORMOUS Christmas tree which will so FANTASTICALLY lit that it will be visible from the mainland. This great visual feast will also give off so much power that I should like to use all that surplus heat to make festive cups of tea non- stop, around the clock. Can you tell us, is there some sort of solar kit we can order in? As we only have 3 hours of sunlight per day I think it prudent to begin harvesting the light as soon as possible. Many thanks, God bless Mrs Doyle xx |
| 24th October 2006 Brian Potter | sunshine at night? - From: Sunshine At Night ...it's the future, Jerry. Keep the marvellous blogs coming Andy. Can you advise us how best to illuminate a 20 ft high Santa on the roof of the Phoenix Club, using only the power of the moon? Much obliged. All the best, Brian, Jerry, Ray Von, Paddy,Max, Les, Alan, Kenny senior and junior, Mary and Marion. |
| 24th October 2006 Dad | Fantastic! - From: Sunshine At Night What fantastic photographs and well worth the wait to see what you are up to. Given the frustration of stuff still being held at the airport you have achieved wonders. Well done! And no doubt your pupils have really appreciated your patiience, even though it has been sorely tested on many occasions. Those ants look really scarey and look as though they could eat through anything! Which is worse - ants or mozzies? Would love you to give a talk at Rotary when you return - does that grab you? Feel very proud of you. Love Dad & L |
| 13th October 2006 Ben | Keep it coming Andy - From: There’s so much more to Foundiougne than goats Great to hear there's another world out there.............. |
| 7th October 2006 Larraine | Beautiful people! - From: BWELERO KALIYA YOUTH GROUP - First Introductions Just reading about the Bwelero Kaliya Youth Group - what amazing young people. So full of admiration for what you are doing - you can change their lives so dramatically and they in turn can teach others. Well done!!! |
| 4th October 2006 Jeremy L | Hot stuff - From: Wilting in Foundiougne Hmmmm. Made me look at the palid autumn sunlight filtering through the trees of Pimlico with a strange new affection. Keep them coming BlogBod. |
| 16th September 2006 the hand of bod | plop - From: HOT HOT HOT hello andrew, all this news about solar things is all well and good but what the people really want to know is, have you turned your pants inside out yet and have you got any toilet roll left, thank you please? sister k xx |
| 14th September 2006 Dad | What a nightmare! - From: Getting Charitable Donations through Malawi Customs - Part 2 (Day 1) Obviously your negotiation skills have stood you in very good stead although it is a bit much when you have to pay the import duty!I really hope that you can now get on with the project without any further hassle.By the way the flat was fine and the plants looked good and appreciated the drink.The beard looks good. When is the next trim due? Love Dad |
| 14th September 2006 Steve | What you should have done... - From: Getting Charitable Donations through Malawi Customs - Part 2 (Day 4) What you should have done was attach the solar panels to your car and then you wouldn't have needed alternators, or petrol...oh hang on though...it was dark wasn't it? Perhaps my idea is slightly flawed. Something to think about for next time though? |
| 14th September 2006 Baff | Lovely to see your face........ - From: Getting Charitable Donations through Malawi Customs - Part 2 (Day 4) Hey you, I love your style! Think you should give up solar century and take up travel writing and photography. I'm more than happy to carry your equipment. So looking forward to joining the African adventure, slapping on sun lotion and making sure you where that sun hat! lots of love Baff x x x |
| 13th September 2006 Larraine | Monty Python has nothing on you! - From: Getting Charitable Donations through Malawi Customs - Part 2 (Day 4) Hi Andy, I am almost speechless - sounds like a Monty Python Sketch and I have been chuckling away to mysellf here. Your descriptive journal is amazing and great to hear that through all that you (mostly) were able to keep your sense of humour. Pity you didn't pack paper underpants!! Don't suppose for one minute you have a washing machine handy! Hope things go smoother for a while. Keep safe. L x |
| 13th September 2006 sister kimbo and the bod squad | weirdy beardy - From: Getting Charitable Donations through Malawi Customs - Part 2 (Day 1) The bod squad (brighton area) is loving the wild weirdy beardy cider festival look but- ahem- where is your nice junglist sunhat please? remember you're a ginger. more pix please! love sister kimbo xxx |
| 13th September 2006 kimbo | weirdy beardy - From: Getting Charitable Donations through Malawi Customs - Part 2 (Day 1) loving the beard, bro.. but where is your sunhat? hmmm ? remember you're a ginger xxx |
| 12th September 2006 Steve | What does it look like. - From: How to get donations into Malawi - Part 1 Can you tell us a bit about what the area looks like. Is it a jungle, a desert, a big modern town, a row of mid huts, etc. I went to Africa once you know - a small island just off the coast of Morocco called "Tenerife". Is it anything like that? |
| 4th September 2006 Mr G :-) | Go on Bod! - From: Building - Malawi Stylee Hiya Mr Bod! I like being able to get an idea of what you're up to on this blog thingy :-) Tasha and Caitlin send their love (Caitlin wants to know what wildlife you've encountered so far) and I'm terribly impressed that the project, although slightly misspelt, is named in my honour 'Calia' - nice :-) Write more when the roof is on! G x |
| 4th September 2006 Steve | No roof? - From: Building - Malawi Stylee What are you going to do if they delay finishing the building by weeks or even months? I hope you took a few books with you. |
| 3rd September 2006 Dad | Scary or what! - From: Building - Malawi Stylee Phew!! Sounds manic but fun. Glad that you eventually arrived at your destination without any mishaps on the way. Not easy by the sounds of it! Hope the building work gets finished so that you can start your part in the project - patience is certainly going to be a virtue!! Is the beer up to scratch? Watch out if your going for a swim - don't want any more nasty bugs to bite! Have fun Andrew and be in touch again soon. Love Dad xx |
| 2nd September 2006 Dad | Onwards to Malawi - From: Touchdown in Nairobi Hi Andrew hope that the second leg of your adventure went well and that you are now safely in Malawi. No doubt much quieter than manic Nairobi.Hope that you enjoy the break before you go on to Dakar where hopefully the sun will shine and you can get the training underway By the way hope that the equipment arrived safely! Be in touch again soon Lots of love dad & larraine xx |
| 30th August 2006 Mr G! | Touch me, Bod :-) - From: Touchdown in Nairobi It was brilliant to meet up for lunch t'other day Bod! I'm so pleased you've arrived safe and sound. Hope you're feeling happy and healthy in Africa, and enjoying Nairobi - don't forget - go and visit Karen Blixen's house if you have time. The only time I've seen a leopard was just outside Nairobi - up a tree looking extraordinarily relaxed. Always remember to check above if you're picknicing - leopard poo is a lot worse than pigeon guano .... Eden project was brill (Goldfrapp excellent) and Franz Ferdinand were great too ... 'it's ALWAYS better on holiday'! G xx |
| 29th August 2006 Ronan | missing you terribly - From: Touchdown in Nairobi I hope that you are following the tone advocated by the songs over there and are saying no to fornication. Glad to hear that the kenyans have got their morals in good working order. The pope would approve. We are all missing you terribly. We met mel and julian today, they were quite interested in your trip, but more interested in you and catherine. |
| 26th August 2006 olisb | Get well soon - From: Countdown - Fall Down WOW, I heard someone slipped in the Gym but didn't realise it was u! Get well soon, I hope it doesn't affect your trip. Oli |
