It's all go once again.

It's been a busy couple of weeks; first a visit to Hereford to see the family and send grandson off to foreign parts, then to Colchester for a final briefing  for the teaching post in the New Year and a sensitive, anointing missioning service to see us on our way.
A brief few days in Portugal then here we are in Kigali, a happy return once again for me, first visit for Rhonnie.  We were anxious about catching the connecting flight in Amsterdam but managed it with minutes to spare. Met by Bosco as usual last night and he's driven us out and about today. A great time meeting with old friends, I'm always astonished at how happily they greet me!  Was able to spend time with the Bishop, we are planning for him and Pastor Winnie to visit the Algarve next Sept/Oct which we shall look forward to. 
I worked out the other day that this year I've been on 28 planes and 19 trains....too many!  On one of those odd FB links it said I was going to have adventures for the next 10 years!  I can only hope they don't involve too much travel!

What's next?

Who am I?  An expat who has lived in the Algarve for 20 years, previously being a regular visitor to Portugal.  An Anglican priest, I found myself visiting Rwanda, The Land of a Thousand Hills, since 2007 and fell in love with the country and its people.

With several short visits under my belt, one allowing a tour of the whole country with some of my family, and including  a trek to the mountain gorillas (an opportunity not to be missed) I was in the position to spend 12 months living in Kigali and working with the Anglican Diocese.  You can read of my adventures in allsaintsalgarve.blogspot.co.uk 

Now I am on the brink of another adventure.

Early 2017 I am going to Rwanda to teach English to  nuns, I shall be living with the sisters in their 2 communities for 6 months.   The first venue is about 45 minutes from Kigali, I shall spend 3 months there then move to Busasamana  which is in the Western Province quite close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I hope you will enjoy reading about what will inevitably be a time of learning , adapting, and much laughter.
