Love the fots
Hi D&J, Loving the blog - it looks so amazing! I particularly like the photo of Dave towering over a group of African boys - a bit sinister but that's art for you. Hope the work goes well and the fun continues - loads of love M&V

Fresh Chickens!!
A great story/ blog .. well done.. am enjoying your travels so much.. Hope you don't pick up too many deperate bugs eating street food and swimming!! Hope you enjoy the chickens too when they are cooked. I'm feeding Rocket on one each week as he just hasn't eaten properly these 6 weeks..its quite a worry.. but he goes for more xrays tomorrow and perhaps its only a stomach ulcer but may easily be worse.. he's miserable and I am worried! However, Harry has booked me to go to Brasilia in July and then we fly up to Manaus and to an Eco Lodge in the Amazon area with the two girls and then fly onto Fortaleza on the NE coast where we meet Filippa for a few days in the sun. So we shall be chased by the mossies too!! Keep writing! Looking forward to hearing from Anne this next week. Lol, Sue
