Photos from Pakistan

Well, I've been home for a few days now and had a chance to have a lovely bath and get my wool properly dried out in the sunshine. Thankfully Heather knew not to put me in a tumble drier....

I've been sorting through my photos from Pakistan and here are a few I thought you'd like to see.


This is me having my wool done at the Noor-es-Sahar Welfare Centre - a sewing and beautification training centre. I don't think they were used to beautifying sheep but I had a very good time!


I was feeling a bit nervous here because, as you can see, I was being held by a VERY tall man. Just one of many people I met here.

Wagha Pakistan/Indian Border guard. I was able to make even the toughest soldiers smile!

We're home!

Hello everyone! I'm back from Pakistan now.  We got home yesterday. I slept a lot more on the flight coming back - we had a very busy time and I'm still tired!! I expect Andy and Andrew are too because they were very busy. It was a fantastic trip though and I was so happy about being in another different country and meeting more new people. Hopefully I will be able to put some photos on here quite soon.

Well, because I was in Pakistan I couldn't go to Athens with Pastor Iain and Norma or with Katie and Josh to visit my friend Courage.  I hope they'll say hi to Courage and all my friends over there for me, and tell them all I'll be over to see them again as soon as I can!
