Thanks to you all for your Happy New Year messages to James and I. I will pass them on to James next year! I will be back with him tomorrow.

I’m staying with a lovely family in Jinja not far from the Nile and lake Victoria and tonight many families are getting together including mine to see in the New Year.

Should be good but I just hope I can last it out – I’ve been with the two children of my friends at the Nile resort all day teaching them to swim! Beautiful views of the Nile and lots of monkeys which were very amusing to watch – one was turning the poolside shower on!

Lots of love to all of you. Wishing you all the best for 2015, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We will be celebrating three hours before you!
