Hi everyone and thanks for your continued interest and
support.
This month's Blog is short and sweet as we are writing it
whilst in the UK for a quick visit home for our eldest son Thomas's wedding to
Rosie. It was a wonderful day and we were blessed with a great service and
celebration reception afterwards in London.

We are writing this
whilst enjoying a beautiful November day at the seaside on the east coast. We
decided to extend our stay here in the UK a little longer as both felt in need
of a break as both were very tired and weary after the past few months busyness
at the hospital in Guinebor. We hadn't realised just how tired we were or
looked until we saw an unexpected photo of ourselves taken by our son. A few
days of relaxing in the beautiful English countryside and walking by the sea
has however recharged our batteries.
We have been struck by the contrast of the 2 countries and
how beautiful the English countryside is, even in November. Today we walked in
glorious sunshine and were able to sit on the beach and simply take in the
surroundings and relax. Everywhere looks so clean and well looked after, little
rubbish lying around and plenty of things to see and do. The shops are full of
lovely things to eat or with so many different gadgets to buy. Food seems to
taste so much better here and we seem to have been constantly eating as is so
readily available. This is such a contrast to our normal surroundings and daily
lives. We are of course well aware that many are also struggling here in the UK
as we have seen in the newspapers or on the television.
However despite all the
benefits and luxuries we have experienced whilst being here we have come to
realise that our simpler lives back in Chad are where we need to be. Much as we
will miss our families and friends, particularly as Christmas is coming, we are
looking forward to returning home.
Blessings Malc and Sue
