Today I took jams & chutneys & marmalades to sell at coffee after church - it was so strange saying "2 weeks today" whenever I was asked when I'm going. Only 2 weeks to go!!! I'm so ready to go (bags packed), but not very ready to leave (getting w*rk ready to hand over & home in a Fit State).
The jam sale raised another £65 which easily takes the total over £700 and I'll update justgiving after I've had another sale at the office on Wednesday.
On a sad note, I read in the local paper on Friday that one of the lovely, inspiring ladies who gave me knitting needles etc to take has passed away. I am so sad that I'd only just met her and had hoped to see her again so she could tell me more about her time teaching in Tanzania in the early '50s. But I feel privileged and thankful that I was able to meet her, and that something of hers will be going with me to Zambia.
