Algol - Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

We wish all our supporters - family & friends - a truly Happy Christmas, and despite all the problems a Prosperous New Year.

Here in Zidim winter has arrived - the midday temperature has dropped to a cool 28 degrees! The locals are all wearing woolly bunnets and heavy anoraks! There is fog over the village, but not like at home - it's dry dust.

The reallly important news is the arrival of our latest grandson Jamie Neil Rowntree. Wendy had a Caesarian Section on 16th December. The wee fellow has had a difficult first few days with breathing difficulties, but all is well now and they got home from hospital today. A truly wonderful Christmas present for us all. Attached is a photo of Jamie and another of him with his proud parents.
