Nina Laurie is working and travelling in South America. For the last 5 weeks she has been in Peru in Andahuaylas, a rural town in the central southern sierra which she has visited off and on for the last 30 years. When she isn't working, Nina finds time to watch the local birdlife which includes 5 varieties of humming birds. There is also time for picnics accompanied by coffee produced on her friend Isaias's father's coffee farm. The mountain scenery is wonderful with walks up to 4,000 metres - check out the photo opposite.
Nina also finds to time to attend the local church which she reports is "slightly more lively than evensong at Holy Saviour's". Watch out Nina, the 10 am family service at Holy Saviour's is waiting for you on your return!
