More about me

My previous username, Mzungu (mazungoo), means 'white person' in Kiswahili.  The term is used in many African countries and is not used in a derogatory manner.  An extensive blog about our experiences in Uganda:

2 Oct 2009 we returned home to Scotland.  It was very sad to leave Uganda but were quite happy to finally be home in Scotland.

I am American and my husband is Scottish.  In 2007 I was granted UK citizenship after passing the requirements including a test and handing over tons of money to the Home Office.  I am now a dual US/UK citizen with two passports.  Our permanent home is on a lovely coastal road in Argyll in west Scotland.  I have 2 adult sons and an adorable granddaughter who live in the US.  My husband has a daughter who lives in Scotland with her husband.  No grandkids - yet.
