Marilyn, hi! I wrote you a lengthy and delighted reply at Joburg airport this morning, and the free wifi decided 30 minutes was up and of course my response all went up in smoke! Anyway, we are now safely in Zambia, staying at Lilayi Lodge just outside Lusaka, in great comfort and with instant wifi. Lilay runs an elephant orphanage and we are hoping to go and babies’ feeding time tomorrow. Hope there’ll be a post about it…

I can really sense your excitement and (slight) apprehension and am full of admiration for you both. Any travel nowadays can be stressful but you are both so full of joie de vivre that you seem undaunted by anything, even the vagaries of Apple! I’ll look forward to all your musings and hopefully the photos too. Bon voyage, Marilyn xx

Chris, ominous silence partly incompetence and mostly because of The flight. Went straight to see your mum and dad when we arrived and had a lovely visit! Met all the carers, and your mum in great and very chatty form, with lots of fun reminiscences from the distant past. Back tomorrow morning early for another visit, then on Wed going with Jen to Babylon…(can’t remember how you spell it). All very lovely.

James, hello from Cape Town. Did Rosemary tell you about the piece on Facebook about your father and a snake?
We are settling happily into the holiday routine already, although still somewhat over-excited/fatigued!

Ominous silence on the blog, since your departure? I sincerely hope not technical problems. I hope you’re both well and having fun. We look forward to the first selfie’s. Love Chris & Sadie

Julia, what a lovely message to receive, as we sit at Heathrow waiting for the plane to Cape Town. Excited and a little apprehensive! Am hoping I manage to keep the blog going smoothly on my iPad, technological competence and wifi willing! Love to you and John
