After an extraordinarily full few months, we are on our way to Ghana.

While I’ve never lost sight of what wonderful friends we have been blessed with, the irony is not lost on me that sometimes you need to travel around the world away from them, to truly appreciate how generous and supportive people are.

So with much humility and gratitude, thank all of you who helped get us over the line. A line that appeared to shift and waver, mirage like a times. Thank-you for volunteering to look after my children, for feeding us, for painting, for cleaning, for listening to my (apparently endless) gripes and concerns about the move…thank you a million times.
