Extracts from Olly's recent email:
"We are so excited (to be returning to the UK) ... the kids are talking about about nothing else. Anna asked this afternoon if England is beautiful ... obviously they can't remember much.
We are looking forward to doing normal things - playing in the garden, going to the supermarket, watching Britain's Got Talent. And buying sweets. And fresh fruit. And milk. And soft bread. To think, CH village shop has probably got more fresh fruit and bread in stock than every supermarket in Freetown combined."
Many of the ordinary things we things we take for granted, sweets, fresh fruit, fresh milk, good bread and watching TV and much more are not readily available in West Africa. And you can't play in the garden (or play football or any ball game) on a ship, even the largest charity hospital ship in the world, the Africa Mercy.
These photos of a market in Liberia, West Africa, give an idea of what "shopping opportunities" there are there.
