I'm not sure where the time has gone but I do know it has been crazy busy over the last month or so getting ready for furlough, finishing the school year, saying farewell to families who will not be there when we return among many other things. On arriving in Scotland on Saturday afternoon we were greeting with the shocking reality that winter is not over! After frantically searching through bags in my mum's loft, visiting the second hand shops and a few friends we are all kitted out for the weather now and gradually thawing out :0) There has been little time to relax yet just sorting out all the basics again like mobile phones, eye appointments and dentist appointments and the like in between some DIY projects needing done in our little flat in Stirling. I never imagined two hours of jet lag would have such an affect on us but it is proving challenging. Uganda is two hours ahead of course so we have tried to keep the children going till 8pm. They are still up at 6am or before however and its very hard to keep Eilidh awake past 11am. this all makes for lots of tired and grumpy children towards late afternoon so please pray for us as we try and make things as fun as we can for the kids while we attend to all the practicalities of setting up "life" again in the UK albeit for a few months. We are all looking forward to a little holiday in the Isle of Bara starting Monday and the kids are delighted with their new ready to use Ikea spades for 80 pence each! Beach here we come! Praying for warmer weather. We are so happy with our little house we have been given to stay in and its central location in Kirkintilloch which makes all the travelling around the country easier. We just wanted to let you know again where we will speaking and hope that we get to catch up with as many of you as possible.
