Hiya Guys
Hope you all had fab xmas and new year!!!!

Quick entry on the blog just here for the weekly internet fix, but hard cos by the time I read all your lovely emails and check facebook, the time has gone!!! Anyway had quiet xmas and new year was more rowdy, we went up to Cape McClear and there was lots of drink and shenanigans had!!!! Homesickness has gone now, feeling much more settled and enjoying the african way of life, layed back and chilling ha ha!!

House here is great, comfortable and we go to work every morning and have afternoons and weekends off. There are three other volunteers with me at the moment, Katherine 18yrs, Joanna 28yrs and Steve 49yrs, there are another 4 coming on monday 7th Jan. Food canney but hard cos not lots of variety but only another 6wks then back in good old UK!!!!

The Malawian people are very friendly and also poor, poverty is unreal, honest we dont know how well off we are back in the Western World!!!! Weather is hot but rainy season too. The lake is beautiful and surrounding country reminds me of Hawaii!! Got lots of stories to tell you all just dont have time to put on here every week so keeping a written diary and will update blog when get home for sure.
