....







I'm having a bad week this week and it's only Tuesday! I'm missing Africa a lot. I miss the amazing  generous people, the children and the lush green scenery. I would go back tomorrow if I could. 
I've been looking through a few of my photos albums ( i took about 1200 photos whilst i was there!) whilst listening to "Vampire Weekends" new album - I highly recommend it! It's lifting me out of this slump. 
Hope you're all having a lovely week

all these photos are taken from my trip to Uganda last year.

I'm back!







I got back from Uganda last Wednesday, and now I'm slowly adjusting coming back to reality. I had the most incredible time. It was a busy 3 weeks of work which consisted of visiting 3 to 4 schools and filming about 8 interviews a day!

Uganda has experienced a lot of violence and it's still very much apparent in places and on the locals faces. However I never felt unsafe and we were so lucky to be surrounded with great people who looked after us so well. I will never forget all the harrowing stories we heard whilst there, and it's hard not to come home a changed person. I really appreciate my life, and realise just how lucky i am to have a beautiful family and friends.

I will write more about my trip soon. I think I still need to do a bit more settling in first!

I'll post more photos soon too, I promise
