some snippets....

Hello everyone

I hope this finds you all well. I am feeling more rested today after an eventful and busy couple of months. I went to church this morning, had friends for coffee, and then sat in the sun and read a book all afternoon which was lovely! Mind you, while I was in the garden, I spotted this amazing spider...........

and it had made a beautiful large web................

During the week while I was in Lilongwe I was called to see a container from PCI being unloaded in Lilongwe. Usually, they come to Mzuzu but because of the unusual contents, this one had to be unloaded in Lilongwe!! Here you can see some of the boxes which were taken out.

and here is Smile, who organises the containers which arrive in Malawi - he is busy directing operations...........

loading the boxes onto the lorry to head for the north................

and the reason the container was unloaded in Lilongwe...........because there were two vehicles on it, one of which is coming to my department in Mzuzu! Here you can see the vehicle which will be for Early Childhood Development......its so exciting...........

the back wheel has not been put on yet - it was taken off so that it could fit in the container and is currently inside the vehicle!

and the other vehicle was an ambulance which is heading to the Mission hospital in Livingstonia.

so...... a great trip to Lilongwe (where I also managed to have my hair cut - no photos of that!). The ambulance has arrived in Mzuzu, the other vehicle is still in the hands of customs but we hope to have it here soon!!

Throughout this blog, I have been referring to Nicolas, one of my trainers here in Mzuzu. He is currently studying for a Diploma in Early Childhood by distance learning through Montessori in London. At the end of July, he left for London where he sat for his practical exams yesterday. Here are a couple of photos of him in London. I am really proud of him as he is working so hard and I hope he does well in his exams.

The weather in London looks better than in Mzuzu!!

Wishing you all a blessed week,

Diane
