Becky Boo from Brighty, Blighty

What a delight and pleasure to have our dear friend Becky come to visit us for a couple of weeks. What a gift good friends are, especially when they turn up for your birthday!

Becky was there for Eden's birth, and sang Taize and ate breakfast with us so often in Brighton, how good to have her here to share in this adventure story too. How good to have someone who knows so much about you, including the dark and difficult and dubious, and yet still loves unconditionally. How good to have a friend who is so good with kids, we have missed her a lot this year and others like her.

It was precious to catch up with each other and find out about friends back in Brighton, and stay up too late telling stories about this and that. It is so helpful to have someone who connects our two lives, especially as we start to think and focus on our retun in mid-April.

None of us wanted her to leave, it was good to have Ratanakiri to look forward. Indeed, we all went to the airport together, Becky to go back to India and us to fly to Ratanakiri, it cushioned the blow.
