Home Again

So here we are back in Hamilton nearly 2 weeks later, and the time has flown. Everything seems to happen so fast here in comparison to the measured rhythyms of Port Vila, where at the moment it is just too hot to think of hurrying! So it's good to take a moment and reflect on our time there before it gets swallowed up in busy-ness.

Some things we love about Port Vila:

Shopping at the market and fully ripened taste of the fruit and vegetables

The wonderful friendly people, riding in clunky old buses never knowing where you might detour to on your way,

The harbour, hardly ever feeling cold,

The many local and expat friends we have made and a wonderful sense of anything being possible.

Some of the things we love about coming home:

Being with our family again, home comforts, not having to put insect repellent on after every shower or swim (Annette only, Martyn hardly got bitten at all), not feeling sweaty even through the night!

Until the Lord sends us back again, Lukem Yu Vanuatu.


PS this is the view from the back of our home looking at the park.  This is after 8 weeks of no rain to speak of, and not much before that.
