To the airport early for a departure to Aden and then London. Meet a man from the Yemeni community in Birmingham. It turns out he taugtht Khalid the young man from Islamic Relief we met a week ago. It feels right to come around to that first meeting making a bit of a circle. I think perhaps a trip to Birmingham in September would be a good idea.
As I sit on the plane silent, for a change, for eight hours Yemen starts to distance itself from me as the miles role on. Its impact and the insights I have discovered will not fade but hopefullly become all the clearer as I share my experiences with others.
I can't wait to tell my tales.
