Hello again! This is Mark Ritchie, international traveler and jetsetter. I arrived home from Ghana on Saturday morning, was picked up at the airport by Mary et al, went to a missions banquet on Saturday night in the Central Belt, we spoke at Harvest Church in Hamilton on Sunday morning, zoomed up north to speak at new Hope Peterhead at night and collapsed into bed in Fraserburgh in the evening!!!
Great to be home though! We had an amazing time in Ghana ... fantastic. In the next couple of weeks my intention is to write blogs on:
1. Ghana
2. Philippines - Sefton Village
3. Itinerary
4. Our kids
5. Anything else that enters ma heed!
Listen to this ... I am in Amsterdam, Holland right now. I came home and realised that Mary & I needed to leave the UK for at least two days before we go back to the Philippines, and we planned to go next week. But other things came in and so it only left this week to go. Went online, realised that we could only fly from Aberdeen to Dublin or Amsterdam ... so here we are! The real reason is that we are home for 184 days on itinerary, and if we are home for more than 182 days we have to pay a whole years tax. So here we are, tax exiles! That's our excuse and we are sticking to it!
My mum & dad are looking after the kids, so it is a wonderful break for us. First time we have been away on our own since our honeymoon! Can you believe that!
Gotta go now ... clogs to try on, tulips to pick and windmills to see. Hard life!
Will blog again soon ....
