Day 1 Sunday

The journey was long and I couldn't get to grips with the films so watched grand designs. I know 'what a saddo?' but even that is better than an empty screen for 8 hours. It was about a polish couple that sunk everything into their dream home in northumberland. When up against it they still pushed on. Inspirational. Today after a suspect?? sleep Pete and I ventured across the hill to benedicta's house. A 2 mile walk and a stop at a cupboard shop for some airtime got us there at about 11 o clock. The children as ever are delightful. To those that know this 'family' they all send their love. I had to deal with several issues and speak into child discipline, schooling etc. we sat outside for lunch. Peter was given a chicken which was then throated and then we ate chapatti and bbq chicken with greens and gravy with some of bennies new venture passion fruit cordial - excellent. John (my friend at red chilli) tells me that today hit 35 degrees. A bit different to the -5 that needham market has been the last week. I did remember the sun tan lotion and am just glowing warmly and not roasted. As with every trip here I have had to change the itinerary already. Tuesday is now Monday and Wednesday Is Tuesday etc. Apart from the untold delight on a child's beautiful face when they are given a new toothbrush there is not much to remark about today. Isn't it the simple things in life that count for so much?
