25th Wedding

Wedding, 1985

Last weekend we celebrated a major milestone — our Silver Wedding anniversary. I suppose like everyone who reaches this point, we wondered where the years had gone! It seems only a couple of years ago that we got married, last year that our children were in primary school, and yesterday that they were [...]

CHANGE IN THE AIR!

There’s something we want to share with you…

Typesetting moves to Thame!

Sad farewell to my 12-year home from home

It’s slightly dated (umm… 1984!), but still gives a good impression of the traditional Rendille way of life, which has changed little in recent decades. It also illustrates some of the stages involved in reducing a spoken [...]

The last lap!

Yes, folks, I’m delighted to say that I’m entering the last lap with the Chumburung typesetting. This has been quite a marathon!

My back has been behaving itself, PTL, and I managed to complete the work I needed to do with Keir and Gillian Hansford by the end of July. We finished the last of the [...]

Several folk have emailed us saying that either they get a mess, or they can’t print it at [...]

After a three-month absence with back problems, he is now sufficiently recovered to work at least half-days. His colleagues Keir and Gillian Hansford, [...]
