As predicted, we had a great time in Chobe - we say EVERYTHING including 3 lionesses - it was brilliant. We spent most of the time fighting over Boot's new camera which has a great zoom - and even has an anti-shake thingy for people like me who cannot hold a camera steady. We got great photos of lots of birds, hippos, elephants, buffalo, crocs and my favourite - monitor lizzards. No photos to show here though as Boot downloaded the pics to his Mac and I forget to make a copy - duh!
His time with us was all too short - even he said he wished he had stayed longer - but he has now gone off to Windhoek to his school friend Ben. We will all meet up again in London when I go there for a conference in July.
Laurence starts his placement at Foreign & Commonwealth Office in July and then his one-year internship at Adam Smith International - a London-based development agency. He wants to get on the FCO fast track scheme as the start of a career in the diplomatic service when he graduates.
We are due to leave for England at the end of June - although we won't be going anywhere if John doesn't behave - his health is still not good. We are planning a trip with mum and dad to Wales to see Mike and Sally and ride on the steam trains. It was supposed to be the Orient Express this year but under the circumstances - Great Little Trains of Wales will have to do!
