Monthly Archives: February 2012 Sorry about the silence on the blog during all of last week. Last week was a bit hectic because we got car trouble, not with the cruiser but with our everyday work horse, our Peugeot. During the past four years or so that we’ve had it, it’s never broken down completely and left us standing, […]  I just found out about a Facebook page called Africa, this is why I live here. Okay, so I don’t actually live there at the moment, but I clicked Like anyway. It has some great posts from people all over the continent, just everyday snapshots, jokes, crazy things, beautiful scenery… Check it out! Today we went to our first fair out a few this spring to do some networking and try find potential sponsors. This was a fair called Caravan & Camping.

When you long to see the elephants, […]  I’ve always preferred tulips to roses and they had some gorgeous red ones at our local corner shop so I got some. The first few weeks of contacting potential sponsors have really made me realize how hard it is and how long it will take. I didn’t think it would be easy or over in a week, but I’m really starting to understand the immensity of it. To be honest, I had my moments in the beginning […] I have now updated the page about the organisation we’re supporting in this project, Kooperation Utan Gränser, with some new pictures and also information about how you can support them! Have a look! |
