The lady returns


Woo-wee! Welcome to my new home. For any newcomers, here is a quick summary of the last three years:
- lived in Switzerland.
- bore child: 1 female infant, Gloria Rosemarie (also known as Glorymouse), a sister to Emma Angela (also known as the Golden-Haired Snow Elf, or these days Emsie Bundle)
-kissed, cuddled and played with 2 girl children in picturesque mountain land.
-kissed and cuddled husband, Uganda Man (formerly known as Switzergent)
- ...er..got pregnant again
- Sept 07 returned to UK for a brief reunion with family and friends, which takes us to today, exactly 17 days away from moving to Kampala, our African home for the next two years. It's been an exciting if rather stressful time: getting injections, going to the dentist, seeing the midwife, pleading with the accountant, sulking with the Halifax, shopping for (among other things) suitcases, head torches and insect repellant, waking up in a cold sweat wondering if the girls will get malaria or if they'll survive without CBeebies.

More later: it's dinner time..
PS This is us leaving Switzerland. We got everything we own in this car (minus 3 boxes) and wobbled our way across France. We arrived unscathed. Impressed? I am!
