Two weeks since my last blog post, and we have already reached half-term, commonly known here as mid-term. It’s a very short break – as teachers we get a long weekend, with no teaching on the Friday and Monday.
Lesley and I took the opportunity to go off with friends to Lake Elementaita. We stayed at a lodge on the lake side, with beautiful views of the flamingos.
A few of us took a horse ride along the lake side:
This was the view from our ‘tent’ (which was really a building, except the outer surfaces were canvas, possibly because they are not allowed to erect permanent buildings on the nature conservancy).
Across the lawn from the bar was a watering hole, where waterbuck, buffalo and zebras would come to drink in the evening.
The previous weekend the whole school went over the road to the local African church. It was a lively service (in English) with plenty of singing and dancing. Here is a very brief extract.
The rest of the time has been normal duties : teaching (including extra classes for two students who are preparing for Maths International GCSE), Titchie Variety Night (where Adam organised various games for a dozen of the primary school children), Dorm cover, lunch duty, marking tests, etc, etc.
Proof of the pudding
