Since 1997 when we went to India, we have sent out newsletters to keep people informed about what we are doing, which we called our 'Epistles'. The last we sent was number thirty seven! As we embark on a new adventure, we felt that it was appropriate to upgrade - so welcome to our new look e-pistle!

Everything New.

Lots of new beginnings; Jim now has a bike to get around on which he is very happy about and today he rode it to work for the first time, admiring the mountain view. The roads are busy though now that the schools opened again yesterday so he needs his whits about him!

Felix and Rosie are continuing to enjoy their new school. Both came home from their first Russian lessons saying they did not understand a thing, but enjoyed their second lessons much more. Jim and I have just started our lessons too....hoping this won't be too uphill, the motivaton to be able to communicate is high.

Rosie turned 8 today and had fun at school sharing biscuits with her class and being sung to in assembly. We had a Kygyz friend to supper to join in the celebrations and I was very pleased with myself  for catching a bus alone and exploring to find a recommended type of birthday cake. She felt quite intrepid!

Everyday is full of many new discoveries which is exciting most of the time and exhausting at others!
