MONDAY 19th November
Yesterday was cold and rainy and quite frustrating for me.
All 5 of us got up late and Doreen got  a lift back to Kampala because she has to go to work today, Monday. Colin is desperate to get back to the city - as a 24 year old graduate he is bored driving these old ladies around and now he has lost his young cousin Doreen! He and I became buddies, exclaiming in exasperation as Evah continued to change her mind in her usual disorganised way!Doctor Margaret remained her cool cynical self!
Eventually we set off for Evah's ancestral home and met her  two brothers. They insisted we stay for a bite to eat and we were very grateful for the hot tea. The Ruwenzori mountains affect the climate of Fort Portal bringing loads of rain after hot sunshine.After Evah had checked that all was in order, we set off to find another relative, an old man who is quite ill. We stayed in the car. Then on to greet Dora Rwambona whose sister Anne I taught alongside Evah back in 1965.Dora and Anne'.s mother is very old and frail but enjoyed the  visit.And then another stop to find yet another elderly relative. Again Colin and I remained in the car.
The vehicle had almost got bogged down at the Rwambonsa's place so we were careful here to stay on firm ground!
By now it was nearly 6pm and we were starving so  I insisted on us all going to The Gardens Restaurant in town(F.P.) for food. We had 3 children in tow who had come for the ride so we were 7 and the bill  came to abut 15pounds sterling! I had fish and chips!Delicious.
This morning I am happy to hear that the request we had put out on the Radio has  borne fruit and that someone has my camera. I offered a reward but don't hold out too much hope .......When Evah and Doctor come up for breakfast we shall go and see.......
Then I hope to meet up for lunch with an old friend Sam Rukuba. who might be able to help me find an old colleague who taught with me at Kyebambe Secondary, Lydia Nkojo. We shall go to Kampala tomorrow.
