Happy New Year and some changes

Apologies for the long gap between this post and the last one in November. Things have been hectic. Renate and Ian went back to Sheffield for Christmas and celebrated with Laura and Shola and with Holly and Matt. It was good to experience a Christmas in the 'cold' after a gap of two years.
Ian has returned to Kampala and will stay until just before Easter continuing to work with the MARPs Network. As this is only a 12 week assignment, Renate is staying back in Sheffield and it has to be said that the main reason is the scheduled arrival of a grandchild in late April, so there's much to prepare for.
Ian and Renate celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary on Monday - apart!
Ian will try and make as many posts as possible in the next few weeks, so watch this space!

Ian will be working as a volunteer with VSO and he's set a fund raising target of £1,000 to be reached before setting off. Money raised will go to support VSO's most pressing needs - it won't be used to fund Ian's placement.
