The Tee Pee will be up today

Hello everyone
I have just returned from an incredible experience at Riviersonderend. The MylifE5 are now locals and Phil has become the MylifE6 - he is now one of the Irish!!!!!
The weather has been very challenging and on Friday the guys were working in freezing conditions with hail sleeting down on their faces - mountains full of snow -lotsa mud and they just carried on.
When I got there on Saturday morning, James Wilson was doing lunch and making sure the guys were all taken care of - the children from the community joined us to fill sandbags and eventually the Tee Pee was ready for the canvas covering and then of course, it started pouring again - so this will be fullfilled today.
The guys have taken on another project aswell, they are now building the childrens playpark. They have done all the designs and will be buying the materials aswell!!!!
If you register on www.facebook.com and go to my Profile - Linzi Thomas - you will see a minute by minute account of the progress and the guys!!!!
Lotsa love
Linzi

Teepee looking wicked- thanks Linzi for the update and the photos...hope you're enjoying the hard-labour (not to mention the beers!) and Dave's surviving without McD's and his habitual 12 hour sleeps!
