It was the view out of the window that sold it to us - but our new home is also perfectly located for C&B's school and only 20 minutes walk from the office - good exercise! It's also quiet, safe and just near our friends the Crowders - we couldn't ask for more!
This is our nearest fruit shop
We're ready for school! The two newest members of the Little Scholars Academy.
The school tie is an essential fashion accessory for the modern child... And packing boxes are certainly an integral part of these two children's lives!
First night in our new house - hooray for pizza :)
First morning in our new house, third morning at school - but today we can walk!
It's also a working week which started in a lovely way with the chance to present on behalf of the team a late Christmas/early 10th wedding annivesary gift to Chris Crowder (Director of SIM Sudan) and his wife Beverly (Health Coordinator).
The team had given them a weekend away (without kids) and they are quite excited about this!!
Furnishing an unfurnished flat from scratch takes quite a bit of shopping...
It's harder than you might imagine to find second-hand stuff in Nairobi - but here is one place...
And this is 'fundi row' where local carpenters will make just about anything you can give them a picture of (one even brought out the Argos catalogue for us to choose what we would like made!!). You have to haggle quite hard to get a fair price though, especially if you are a muzungu.
Flowerpots anyone?
And this is where to relax after a busy week - the Rusty Nail restaurant out in Karen. The desserts are amazing.
And the gardens are lovely. It special to catch up with Karissa who was on her way home to the States for Christmas after being evacuated from Doro.
And here are two lovely children who are very happy in their new home.
