THE START OF SOMETHING NEW!

Phew! Able to take a breath! We have finally moved into the flat, David finished work yesterday -we just have the dreaded lunch and speeches with the Directors on Monday and then we are free as birds - penniless, hopefully not for long,  but free as birds!
The packers came and went and did a great job packing up our stuff but boy, for people who thought they didn't have much xxxx
This is them getting ready to move it all out!
 The flat has proved to be fantastic and all of the dogs have adapted to all of the steps - even poor old Elsa, the lab, whose back legs are beginning to go. She has developed a great kind of froggy hop! Anyway here are a few views of the flat - not many needed as small but we love it - and so central!
The front door - yes, we know it looks more Spanish than anything but there it is - a gem amongst a whole load of tat in Nairobi!

Lovely big main bedroom with loads of cupboard space.

View from bedroom corridor towards living area and door into kitchen.

View into living area

Looking from sitting room balcony towards garden - lovely.

Tiny but perfectly formed!

What will be spare room with two roomy single beds in - not quite finished unpacking!

So there we are - don't know where pic of kitchen is but is a small space with everything to hand. So, everything going fine.

Off to vets with Fleck and Pandy tomorrow as need to start getting them micro-chipped and then rabies injections etc in readiness to be brought over as there is a 3 month wait between injections and testing for rabies, which ahs then to be sent to either Uk or SA so all go.
Rest of money for house due with lawyers on Tuesday so keep fingers crossed though we don't hold out too much hope!!! mThat would be far too organised for Kenya.
On Wed going upcountry to stay at Kembu campsite just beyond Gilgil and then going to see friends in Naivasha for a few days. Then a week and we fly over to Uk -if money comes through!! So lookign forward to it as will be the first time that David and I ahve flwon over together and spent time in Uk. Have had to make itinerary as going to be usual mad dash but should be fun. We are both over there for our birthdays, spending them with friends so that should be nice.
Anyway, that's me up to date. Catch back soon when back from upcountry. Have a good one x
