Home ground...
Well... I am back! After a hideous 16 hour journey, sickness, diarrhoea, no sleep, vile plane food and a bad cold and not forgetting the 1000 mossy bites, I awake this morning in my own bed feeling very odd? All I can think about is buying a Digital Radio and a new clean white fluffy dressing gown? What does that say about me? I want to still listen to the local Ghana radio station that all tro tros (Ghanas answer to public transport, though or course no timetable, they just whizz up and down the roads shouting their destination place!) and the dressing gown? perhaps something to do with the fact that I have realised that I do actually like my creature comforts and living for a month in conditions that test every aspect of your being and beliefs I now want some purity?
Now that I am at home and have electricity and permanent access to Internet I will update this blog with the full storey and a good selection of photos out of the 600 I have taken! I am nervous about looking at the photos of the kids as I think my heart will feel wrenched as I know I have left them there and will not be able to see their smiling faces, hear their voices, have and give the love and continue teaching and caring for them.
On a positive note, although I did not accept the job offer, the Director and I did discuss setting an office up in England for OA which she would like me to do, so perhaps I will still be able to continue my work and visit the kids! :-)
Well that's it for now, I am going to make myself a cup of tea! The small delight of boiling a kettle and having a decent cup of English tea is welcoming! ahhh such simple pleasures...
