Anyway I have lots of lovely pictures of Uganda for your delight and delictation as I took a week off to go on a big safari trip to the West with John Paul.

Helen Lay you now look perfectly at home on safari!!! Obviously uganda suits you. We all can't wait to see you at Christmas. We went to fireworks on saturday. It was pissing down, but in the typical Brit way we refused to give in. Surprised the fireworks lit, but they are clearly made of stern stuff. Sam and Connor sat hi. Lots of love from us all xxxxxxx

Safari
Glad to hear you had a great trip - photos are wonderful (hat is too). Leif is ready to book his ticket to Africa, I think. We are also counting the days to Xmas - flying to NEWC on 18.12, flying back on 2.1. Will be wonderful to see you and hear more about your adventures. Stephanie got a super school report so is very smug and grown-up at the moment. Lots of love, Alison

David Attenborough would be proud......
......hey lady - these are fantastic photo's and it sounds like a jolly good jaunt! Glad to see your anthropological studies are benefiting your fellow tourists as well as the animal kingdom! Jacob and Morgan are very excited by the Ugandan wildlife and want to get on the plane now! Love the Helen hat too - can I request some pic's of your new abode? And the gate that you are not allowed a key for so when you next ring me when you are banging on the door to be let into your own home I can visualise the full experience! Can't wait for Crimble too!!!

notes from our foreigh correspondant
right, and this is very important. You are soon to eclipse Kate Adie as our go to girl for international commentary. Not only are you scribblings accurate , witty and un put downable -( i couldnt think of a computer related word - very heavy holding a computer as your read). You ar looking more and more at home in a windswept scarf and hat /safari look. I suggest that if you ever decide to return to civilisation that you hook up with big john Simpson. or the other one, fatter , uglier you know. Anyway you can provide the Glamor. Lookin so so so forward to seeing you and having someone to get drunk with Lots of love Rik x
