One Year On

Saturday was exactly one year since I arrived in Malawi - and what a year!

You've read a lot about it and are probably better placed than me to notice any changes in mood and attitude. But even I can tell that things seem very different now to me than they did 365 days ago.

Things I have learnt include:

  • Change can be good;
  • It's important to trust your instincts; and
  • Spiders are always evil (a year on, they still make me cry).

But most of all - it's the people that make a place. Scotland or Malawi, if you're not with the people you love (or really can't love the ones you're with) then you're wasting your precious time.

We've been lucky. The people here have made our year.

PS - we celebrated one year and started our good-byes by splashing out on 'the' proper swanky restaurant in town (so the photo was actually taken in Malawi!)
