Almost over ...

So its almost time for me to set sail! Well not really, but i needed to link the photo somehow!

But it is almost time for me to leave my current location and to start part 2 of my trip!

So ... 2day was the last full day with the kids, currently sarah and tommy are taking part in the last part of their course, which happens to be at a swimming pool, from what i know they have to keep a float for about an hour or so then save 4 dieing people from a raft while being dragged down by a 20 ton weight ... ok so maybe not that much of a challenge! im sure really there just having a splash about!

So 2nite is the last nite with some people (mainly due to the fact their leaving 2morrow!!!) so im not really sure what the plan is when they arrive back ... but hopefully we shall partake in some fun activities.

So how am i feeling about the coming departures ... well ... i guess its a whole bunch of mixed emotions! My time with the kids has been up and down i guess, overall alot more ups!!! Of course there have been hard moments where ive felt tired and both boys pick the same 30mins to be as naughty as they can. But overall they have been a joy to be around and there isnt much a little hug, or smile, or kiss from one of the little ones cant fix!

But of course im still gonna have these 2 little bundles of joy in my life, so i guess im not really focusing on missing them right now ... its the friends that ive made while ive been here that are pretty much all departing in the next couple of days (and then most of them onto Africa soon enough) that im gonna miss, so i was maybe gonna do a little tribute to various people ... and maybe i still will ... just after they have left so i dont feel embarrassed if i say too many nice things about them!!! In summary everyone here has been a delight to meet and get to know and i will always look back on this time with a smile on my face!

unfortunately i read sarah and tommys blog first which made me feel more like i could have done it even though i cant swim and the only water i've been in for the last 30 years is the bath but probably the truth is somewhere in between!!!have loads of fun on the second part of your trip.mum x
