Oh Kate, please give my love to everyone there. As to being behind on photos, I know what that's like! I have thousands of photos from Africa to sort through also...

Getting settled in, but busy with work, and still way behind on sorting my photos! I will get a break though, going down to Mlawula for the weekend.
