National Express
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

What a journey!
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

No tea without fire
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

Much obliged. All the best, Brian, Jerry, Ray Von, Paddy,Max, Les, Alan, Kenny senior and junior, Mary and Marion.

Beautiful people!
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!!!

What a nightmare!
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

What you should have done...
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?

Monty Python has nothing on you!
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

What does it look like.
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?

Go on Bod!
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!

No roof?
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.

Scary or what!
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

Touch me, Bod :-)
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
