Gear arrives in Kenya

Well,we are here in Kenya for a month or so,our main plan is to put the machinery together and start developing the land, show James and Grace where they will be going to school and generally get things organised so that in Jan 2012 it will wont be as crazy.

As per the photos we had some help from a couple of great Kenyan fellows to put the tractor back together.

We are settled into our house which is a two story african style place, we have power from about 8.30am to 10.30pm with a few bits missing in the middle.

We have been welcomed very warmly and we are all busy.

During the week we bought, a 1999 Toyota Prado,we hope to find a ute/pickup next week.

There are still 30 Kenyan fellows clearing the land we will be framing,we plan to ramp it up to close to 100 next week. It is taking a lot longer than I had hoped.

James is keeping the fire going that keeps us in hot water,we will employ a gardener/helper soon. (James say's the sooner the better)

Grace has made friends with some african girls who live on the conservancy, she took some books to their house and read to them.She is a teacher like her mum.

We have just got the internet on last evening and so I can now update this blog.

Annie has made the house very comfortable and is very happy to have a 4w drive car, she has always wanted one although I don't think she thought she would have to move to Kenya to get one.

Our plough from Australia is in a container at Port in Kenya, I hope to have it by Tuesday and put it together and get it working ASAP.
