We’re moving, not from Tabora, but from our house with the tiny garden. We’ve found a nice house with a much bigger garden, although I couldn’t tell that it was bigger the first time I saw it. Everywhere I looked there was maize, and mum had fun teasing me that we were going to leave it there.
The new house is quite small but there are two buildings, one which is obviously the house and the other which is what we call Ben’s flat. Before we move into the house we have a lot of things to do, such as the garden, so far most of the maize has gone and we are planting grass. “Here we go again” I think, since I can still remember when we first moved to Tabora and the grass seemed to take forever to grow!
My favourite part of the garden is the Flamboyant tree, since they look lovely when the red flowers bloom. We are also going to have a rockery. This of course is not because we want to cover up the horrible water tank sticking out of the ground.
In the beginning of the renovation, to my disgust, I was having to put up with the thought of sharing a room with Amelia. This suggestion was held until Bens flat came into view and luckily, I am now going to have a room to myself.
The first time I was exploring the house I found an old phone in what is going to be mum and dad’s room, you know, those ones with instead of buttons the round circely thing. Well mum taught me how to use it, I am now wishing that we had one, like I wish that I have a type writer and a camera that produces the photo as soon as it’s taken.
So, by the 1st of July, we are going to be in a new house, I can’t wait!!!!

Hat - it sounds great. I remember when i was younger and going to look at houses was such fun. Figuring out who would have which bedroom, and, being the youngest like you - I always got the last choice! I hope you enjoy the new house and of course enjoy your safari too.
