What I didn’t tell you was that during the school holidays my family was not with me. They all went off to Ethiopia again, to visit the school we were at before, and to visit friends.
Why didn’t I go? Because I had already been booked to teach at Beating Around the Bush long before the trip to Ethiopia was planned. At first I had said that there was no way they were going if I couldn’t go, but then I realised that that was just selfish, so I said that I was ok with them going.
Of course, I really would have loved to have gone with them and I missed them terribly.
But they’re all back now, having had a wonderful time, and I am very pleased that they’re home!

That must have been a bit of a nuisance – I know how much Ethiopia impacted unpon you after your last trip. Still, it sounds like BATB was wonderful – just a pity that the two events conflicted.
