SUNDAY JOURNEY TO HEATHROW

Not too bad a show by England yesterday and a really nice evening spent with my son Tom and his mate Nick finds me in good spirits today.  As you can probably tell I'm sat here thinking what to write in this blog.  We haven't done anything really yet but I am looking forward to meeting up with everyone else at Heathrow and getting on with the trip.  I spent this morning reading up on Ethiopia and it did make me think how lucky we are to live in a society that is not faced with the problems that the population face in Ethiopia.  The expense, both monatarily and in time of getting water that needs to be invested by so much of population holds them back from investing in their own progress.  I remember watching a film about a man who grew up in Sweden and how much his Mum looked forward to getting a washing machine because it freed up so much time.  She used the extra time to take her son to the local library.

Looking forward to our trip
