Peter's computing course wasn't as great as he could have hoped for and he was left with some of the practicals to do by himself afterwards as there hadn't been enough time planned into the teaching time. On the whole however he managed to move a bit further forward so not all bad.
Alison has had a busy few weeks at school with day trips to the beach (it was a long day as we couldn't live much further from the coast), Sports day and a morning out joining another school for their arts week.
The ash saplings are showing signs of dying which has caused much joy so we might try the others with weed killer.
Somehow the life of doing nothing mentioned in the last post hasn't quite materialised although we have had a couple of very restful weekends which has been good.
Next weekend it is one year exactly since we arrived back in the UK. In some ways it seems longer and in others we can't quite believe that we have survived for a year (most of it by ourselves) in a country were we knew very little. A big thank you to all who have been praying for us during this time and for those of you who have practically helped us. Also a huge thank you to all those in Tanzania who have kept in touch with us and helped us ease out slowly, it has really helped us not having a clean break. I will include photos of our celebrations in the next post.

Celebrations
Last week was half term and saw me not only finishing painting the lounge but also getting the garden under control, so now a life of doing nothing beckons?
We have decided to leave the flooring in the lounge until after Peter has taken his Microsoft exams, as yet we have no date so it could be a while.
The ash saplings are still thriving weed killer in cuts did not work, any ideas as to how to get rid of the little beauties please let us know. The rest of the garden continues to grow and delight us as plants we had forgotten about come out into bloom.
This week Peter is attending a course in London to help him prepare for his exam.
Last post I mentioned that Tanzania was facing power problems. It appears that Dodoma wasn't hit too hard but Dar Es Salaam had a very hard time.
Last week we heard that if the scan got it right we are getting a little niece who in theory should arrive on Peter's birthday.
