We have survived our first English winter, and were fortunate to have a bit of snow - something quite fun for people from South Africa.
Fortunately, the weather hasnt been as bad as everyone says, the worst part about winter here is the lack of sunlight and the really short days.
I have been working hard since September in doing my PhD through the Institute of Communication Studies at the University of Leeds. It has been challenging, but rewarding and I look forward to the next three years when I hope to complete my studies and move onto bigger and better things.
For now though, we are expecting our first baby, which is a real blessing. I probably wont be writing for a while because the baby is due on the 2nd March - less than 5 weeks aways!

I'll be back to studying full time in July, and hopefully go to SA in September to do some research, attend a conference and see family and friends. In the meantime, I've got the time to think about my research - The Role of the Media in ICT Policy Development in Kenya - and everything that it means.
