Thanks both. David, I’m glad you like the recording; it was one of Huw’s, made with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand! Anyway, enjoy meeting each other in November :)

Just about off to France to see Laurence and Phil. I have read this and will re-read it on my return on Tuesday. Am going to meet Val and David very soon – can’t imagine what we will talk about!! Missing you both and hope all continues well. Love from Mum/Sue

So glad the silence has been broken, and with such a beautiful chorus. We will have to play the recording when we get up in the mornings and imagine we are in Africa.
You haven’t lost your touch for quick thinking at border crossings, which is just as well. Also, your musings on The Gambia and Senegal give much food for thought. Your perspective is so different from the usual tourist camouflage and it seems to tap into a reality that many of us would never know about.
Keep up the good work but, more importantly, keep safe.
Love from myself and Val/Mum
