Ta-ta to our SL Family

Saying goodbye to our Sri Lankan family was really sad for us. They have looked after us brilliantly and helped us through the ups and downs of our time on the island.


Here is a group shot of them from earlier in the year:

Front row is me, Jayamali, Suresha and Ravindra (cousins) and Chandi.
Back row is Amma (Malani) and Thatha (Somasiri).


Here is everyone on our last evening (click to enlarge):


L-R: Athamma, Chamila, Somasiri, Chandi and Dimuthu, Jayamali, Norny, Olof, Amma and baby Usha, Ravindra.

And here are Ranil and Usha doing English practice...



So as we pulled off in a van from our jungle home on Thursday morning, I was sad but happy. Sad to say goodbye, but also glad to have spent six months with such good people.
