Missing my little buddy..........


Me and H at Brecon Mountain Railway (Good pic Mummy well done).


Sigh. The start of another hitch. As exciting as this was at the start, the journey out here and the inevitable 'gloom' of Malongo camp is finally starting to get to me. But that is nothing compared to the pain of having to leave Harry and Luce.


I used to dread having a family in my Navy days for this very reason. I should count myself lucky that its only for 6 weeks at a time but the comfort of knowing that does not make it any easier.


It was different leaving Harry this time at the train station as, at almost one year old, he is definitely taking more of an interest in my comings and goings now and the confused and perturbed look on his face on this occasion was heart breaking.


Still, the disappointment of leaving my little buddy is completely overridden by the excitement of seeing him again on 13th October. I cannot wait!
