Moving in

On June 24th we moved into "Isaac's Tanzania House" (as he likes to call it) - a great place to be just 15 minutes walk from the centre of Mwanza.  So began the process of unpacking and settling in.  We're really grateful to Ian and Andie Wilson for all the things they left for us (some of which we still haven't had a chance to look through), and Jo Topley for filling our fridge and getting it all organised.

Our Street (house just left of centre with white gates)

It was good fun opening some of the bags and packages we sent across months ago - including some IKEA Poang chairs (had a tip from some good friends of ours about getting them on a plane as luggage), and some of the house at least is beginning to look like home.  Isaac takes after his daddy and is naturally gifted at putting IKEA furniture together :)

Isaac has enjoyed meeting our local wildlife which includes two cats that live in the garden.  They are working cats helping to keen the place free of undesirable vermin and snakes. We also have a couple of dogs, some chickens and there is a family of mongooses (mongeese?) that visit the garden from time to time.
