Return to Malawi

Back in Malawi after a short break back home. It was shock to experience the cold weather again in Scotland but wonderful to catch up with family and friends.  Thank you to all the staff and pupils at the schools I visited for their warm welcome; Caledonia, St. Anthony's, St. Marks's, St. Mary's and St. Peter's.

Our journey was fairly smooth although one the flights was cancelled; we had to wait 5 hours in Nairobi (Kenya) before flying to Lilongwe (Malawi). Fortunately we had a change of plan; we stayed 2 nights in Lilongwe before being picked up by Fr. Phillip to drive us to Mzuzu. We enjoyed the sunshine, visited a few shops and even met up with a friend from Mzuzu..

On the way, we stopped at Bowe to visit Fr. Joseph and Fr. John who are missionary priests from Nigeria. Later, we popped into Fr. Phillip's home village near Nkhamenya to greet his aunt and uncle.
