Back in the UK!

Just over three years ago we were greeted with signs similar to the one below at the beginning of our time with MMS Aviation ... Yesterday we arrived back in the UK having left Ohio and the USA and having enjoyed it as our home ever since that first day in September 2009.


We had a very good and uneventful trip back to London and even got an extra piece of baggage through without having to pay the required additional $100. We now have a couple of months in the UK to catch up with people and make our final preparations before flying out to Tanzania on February 16th to start working with MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) out there.

Our contact details while we're in England are as follows ... (we will be staying between both sets of parents and they can always pass on messages) ... feel free to get in touch!

Mobile phone number : 07530 399707
Mark's parents, Val & Phil Beckwith : 01959 574875
Jenny's mum, Joan Hadlow : 01883 622529

We're really looking forward to the chance to see many of you over the next month or so but for now are trying adjust two little girls to our new time zone ... so far it's not looking good!!!!!! 

If you have contacted us in the last few weeks and haven't had a response, it's not that we're ignoring you, we've just been a little bit pre-occupied ... hopefully you'll hear from us soon. Thank you for your patience at a time of huge transition in our lives!
