Dear Friends,
I looking forward to home very much. To see relatives and friends and to get on with various Projects. I have done everything in East Africa that my budget will allow. Today I am in Isiolo. I want to make contact with acquaintances Bishop Joseph and Rev Alfred, but I cant find them around and my mobile connectivity is not working here. So I have found a guest house in town for 800 Kenyan Shillings. Projects:
1. Aircraftsman Shaw researches
2. Preparing slide-show.
3. Catching up on correspondence which has built up over last couple of months.
4. Hoped for lead with RWWHs.
5. Gardening to be put in order.
6. Planning France
7. Planning RAGBRAI
8. YHA Wardening week
9. MCFS walking
10. Working with Conservative Party.
11. Cleaning all my gear.
12. Other Project to remain a mystery.
Best Wishes

ROSS - A DRAMATIC PORTRAIT - A PLAY TOO FAR
Dear Friends,
It is with some measure of disappointment that I announce today that 'Ross - A Dramatic Portrait' cant be produced in June 2012 due to lack of support and interest within the Northwich and area theatrical and acting community. The Director Brenda Spencer, Stage Manager John Goodier and other faithful supporters did their level best to make our vision happen. It is easy to take a horse to water but you cant make it drink.
I have now tried to get Ross stage in 2010 to coincide with Rattigan's centenary and now in 2012 to coincide with the River Festival and all to no avail.
We will have a look at matters when I am home. It would be a shame to allow the knowledge we have gathered to disappear into the either.
Best Wishes
Andrew

REACHED NAIROBI AFTER 10 HOUR BUS RIDE
Dear Friends,
An uneventful, thirsty and hungry bus ride from Mombassa. The bus set out at 6:00am and arrived 10 hours and 500 kms later in Nairobi. Think Ive had enough long bus rides to last me a while. Have checked into a hotel on River Road and I am now mooching about till bed time.

GETTING READY FOR HOME
Dear Friends,
Just a note from Mombassa. I am seeing home on the horizon. Feeling a bit tired and a small amount of home sickness these days. There is a lot to do at home, it demands me. Not sure what the remaining ten days will bring. I hope I feel a bit more refreshing and inspiring than I do at the moment. Maybe it is just the humidity of Mombassa that is reflected in my mood. Will make the big push to Nairobi in the morning. Once I would have feared Nairobi. The first thing any backpacker guide book does is warn you of the danger. God willing, I have found this to be nonsense. So I will do some exploring in Nairobi. They have a National Park right in the city. All my clothes and gear remain travel stained and dirty. Hope I will feel cleaner in the fresher air of Nairobi. See you in Nairobi.
Any messages kindly recieved.

MUDDLING THRU IN MOMBASSA
Dear Friends,
I am back in Mombassa after a short excursion into the sticks. I am staying in a guest house overlooking the bus station. I have a ticket in my pocket for the Nairobi bus tomorrow. It departs at 6:00 am. Not sure how many hours it will take. It will be nice to slip off the cloak of heat and humidity which envelops this city. Everything I need is very close to the guest house, restaurant, cyber cafe and bus.
Look forward to seeing you in Nairobi son.
Best Wishes
