So Jo Riley got to send her birthday in Kenya and so we tried to make it an experience to remember.. though that appeared harder than we thought as there’s just not really that much to do in terms of the usual ways to relax…entertainment etc.. It makes you realise how spoilt we are having all these choices on our doorstep.
Our day out consisted of travelling to Bungoma, the nearest city. So, we took an hour long drive (on the matatu) to get some chips for lunch and visit the large(ish) supermarket to enable us to ‘get the treats in’ then returned home. It was still a fun day out, though, and we ended our trip by getting ice cream, a novelty we haven’t laid eyes on since being here. We sat and indulged on the bank steps it was a real moment where we were all thoroughly content and in our own little happy world.
Sunday felt a bit more like the usual ones at home. We attended church, had toad in the hole for lunch (made by Jo Finlay and Jo Hardy from what they purchased at our supermarket day out) and then held a little party for Jo who became ‘guest of honour’ Ann made us a delicious cake and some choc ice ream which we had with chai and played party games such as “who am I?” and pass the parcel.
