An update!!


Jennifer looking all beautiful and pregnant!



Nov 7th 2010: Joe in the half marathon. 30 degree heat at 7am!


Coming in to finish after losing the crown of first 'mazungu' to my running buddy Peter (who is in the picture clapping me in). Hopefully this is not an ominous sign for the Ashes as Peter is from the land of Oz!





Thinking I can improve my position by one place but the little man saw me coming!





Tired but happy. About 30 secs faster than last year so all good.


October half term with Joe's mum and dad: Mvuu Lodge in Liwonde National Park with plenty of hippos and crocs.

























One of the big five!











The one tusked elephant and what a whopper it is.





















Getting the good shots.









At Zomba now and getting some fruit and veg delivered to the door.














View from the plateau. It is called Emperor's View after Haile Selassie who visited the spot.














We got caught up in a forest fire and ended up staying on the mountain for a whole night!! Very very scary but we all survived. I have a 3000 word story about so if you want to spend 10 minutes reading then let me know and I will e-mail you the tale of the eventful night.
















Our car is in the middle of this fire (but amazingly survived)














The night after staying on the mountain. What a contrast. Having dinner at the beautiful Satemwa tea estate.


















Our room at Satemwa.



















Overlooking the tea estate.


















Quad biking around the estate.






















Tea tasting.






















The local delicacy, mouse on a stick!!! About 30p for 3; bargain.
