The Story So Far ...

We said farewell to our work friends at the RSPCA and BBC on 14 September, farewell to our families on 3 October, and set off for Africa to save cheetahs, decorate school buildings, and look around a bit. After a trip home for Christmas, we headed for South East Asia on 6 January -- where we were stunned by Qatar and Cambodia, taught novice monks in Laos, and acted as security guards at an Elephant Festival. It was back home for four weeks to look after John's dad, before we tangoed our way through five South American countries in fifteen days. We then snooped our way through New Zealand, dipped our toes into Fiji, drove-thru California and were home from home with family in Vancouver.

Now, we are home itself. Fulfilled, happy, and ready to earn the respect of our friends and family by knuckling down and earning some money once again ...

Henry - Vegging out



And in other news... we've also helped complete an important stage of the new vegetable garden, putting up netting and digging trenches for irrigation.
Nobody knows what will actually grow here - it's not really been tried before - and the arrayed ranks of pests, large and small, will be formidable.
Hopefully the new garden will provide next year's volunteers with a plentiful supply of delicious veggies, provided our hard-wired netting and high-security sicklebush hedge can keep out those pesky baboons.
