In Charlie 3 we are still revelling in quite how good our project is. We are still swimming daily and having a great time with all the masons! On Sunday we visited the market town of HD Coti and ate the first pieces of meat in the spiciest curry we have had so far – Damien was sweating for hours afterwards! We also stopped off at the cake shop. The whole day cost under £3 each including travel and food – something we are still struggling to get our heads around!
The next day was Sophia’s birthday, we celebrated in style with a pjama party / and ‘s’ party (we were all in sleeping bags) and hot chocolate after dinner – a huge treat (thanks Kath we miss you!).
In sadder times the team supplies of tang (a bit like orange squash)have run ouot. Most of the group are suffering from withdrawal symptoms. We are also losing M-J today who has become a big part of our family. We are going to be extremely sad to not spend the last few days with her!
We have started painting the school, which has left our wonderful t-shirt tans speckled in white paint. Beccy C, Abby and Gareth did a superb job teaching the school children nursery rhymes such as three green bottles, incy wincy spider and heads shoulders knees and toes.
Charlie 3 have a few messages for home:
Harry says ‘Happy birthday Mummy I love you!’.
Becky and Abby say happy birthday to their Dad.
Gareth says ‘Happy birthdsy Mum for 8th! Hope all of the rest of the family are all well am having an amazing time!’.
Note from Jess: thanks for the post Charlie 3!!!!
Harry, thank you for the greetings. We have been checking the blogs almost hourly for updates and even Dad comes running (literally) if there is mention or sight of you. 'Baba' and Dave were asking for your news and Dean wants to know where the postcard is. Everybody is very well. Hope to talk to you soon. M xxx

Hi Sophie
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely birthday - we were thinking of you that day.
Sorry to hear that Tang ran out - hope you are able to get some more. We are now home and got your post card from Hong Kong/India.
I now call your bedroom the shrine - it is pretty tidy in there at the moment.
See you soon - blog back.
love
Mumxxxx

Hey kezi,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you havn't got my letters yet. I'm not sure what's going on with the french postal system, i sent the first one only a few days after you left. Got your facebook message which was really nice to hear from you. I'm reading all of your updates on the blog too. It's a shame you're not really getting to hear back from me. I've just got back in england after 3 full weeks of nonestop sunshine in france. I dont know if the weather in india will have been as good but you'll be having way more fun so i'm still massively jealous. Anyway, shouldn't babble on for too long, i'll clog up the blog. plus i've got my letters for that. Missing you so much, loads of love.
