Christmas
Christmas was about as British as we could get given that we were in the middle of Africa in 30 degree heat. We spent most of the Christmas week staying with a lovely couple, Robert and Sheila, who are the parents of a girl from our church. We went to their church on Christmas morning and received a wonderfully warm welcome – although most of the carols were sung to American tunes. I helped Sheila make mince pies, we had a yummy Christmas meal and we opened our presents around the tree. The only thing that was different was going for a swim in the outdoor pool – on Christmas Day! How cool is that?!
