I think most unusual was seeing a panther (cougar?) with her two kits a few years ago. Although there are occasional sightings, the forest rangers insist that they no longer prowl the area. I am often afraid to walk from the house to the barn, and was amazed at your bravery at camping around LIONS! <br /><br />AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190466067173360581.post-54718232859646934822012-09-07T12:29:18.139+03:002012-09-07T12:29:18.139+03:00Too right about getting used to having the time.

Busy sorting the house, Internet ordering so many things that the bank stopped my card thinking someone had stolen it (oops!) and exploring the local area.<br /><br />Ann, looks like you've got the hang of commenting fine! Bears and rattlesnakes sound pretty scary to me! The UK seems a bit tame relative to Tanzania but the kids seem more worried about nettles than they were about 8cm acacia thorns. Did you find our blog through behind the child?<br />Mama Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965758731164629251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190466067173360581.post-68540469436435117342012-09-06T23:49:36.858+03:002012-09-06T23:49:36.858+03:00CUTE!

I'm sure that Mrs B will soon get used to her time to herself and be baffled at how school pick-up time comes all too quickly. <br />:-)Basiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192438330852411043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190466067173360581.post-83083389619148425292012-09-05T23:44:12.289+03:002012-09-05T23:44:12.289+03:00My goodness, what a difference in that big boy rea...My goodness, what a difference in that big boy ready for his first day at school and the baby you took to Tanzania! Both he and Kitty look adorable, and I hope they had a happy first day!<br /><br />It sounds like you have settled in to your new home remarkably quickly! I agree with Tia - keep the carpet for now (it looks like it will hide stains well, too!).<br /><br />I have so enjoyed following your adventures in Tanzania, and the growth of your beautiful children - thank you for sharing! (And, hope I've commented correctly - I'm not at all computer savvy!)<br /><br />Ann in Virginia (USA), where bear and rattlesnake sightings are the closest we get to the fearsome wildlife you encountered in Africa!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190466067173360581.post-20474792865042265512012-09-05T17:13:47.790+03:002012-09-05T17:13:47.790+03:00Ooo I'm pretty sure we had that carpet too at ...Ooo I'm pretty sure we had that carpet too at some point!<br /><br />And yes - keep it - until you've finished doing everything else you plan to do, anyway, cos otherwise you know that you'll get the replacement stained and worse in the process. Unless of course you happen to have to scrub it and realise the entire thing is mouldy and covered in ancient dog bits...Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360092874754466982noreply@blogger.com
