Naomi & Bob Bousie (who's name I have been mispronouncing for 8 years) are leaving us for new adventures. So we invited them in to say farewell.
No real plan for the conversation - we just chatted. But the overwhelming impression is just what lovely people they both are.
They are going to be sorely missed.
Caution: There may be added Karaoke in here (see the video in the first comment).

Rob Bousie's got a new job. In Scotland. So he and his lovely wife Naomi are leaving us. It's a regular part of the expat way, I suppose. So we invited them in to say farewell to all their friends, and to tell us about their overall impressions of their 9 years in this chaotic, quixotic, exotic coun...

Pablo Zapata told us his own refugee story, but we mostly focussed on the bigger picture of what it means in general to be a refugee, how organizations like the UNHCR are providing help wherever it's needed, and the main take-away for me was a feeling of positivity. We are all people. Some of us just happen to be away from home for reasons beyond our control.

To mark World Refugee Day we gave the show to 2 impressive young ladies from Jordan and Iran, who are building their lives here in Romania.

Well that was a delight.

Yasmine Frean told her fascinating story so nicely - resulting in a lovely, warm, friendly hour of conversation and fabulous music.

Yasmine Frean grew up in Algiers, much of the time during a civil war. Didn't like maths, so she trained as an accountant. Worked her way up the corporation, then she found Chris, whose job means living in various places - including now in Romania. This is a lovely story and she tells it delightfull...

Chris Frean had to take the journey from London to Bucharest over land and sea, because he couldn't fly. He was taking bets on how long it would take - it was longer than expected (of course it was). Listen to the story before you decide if you want to try it.

Well that was very pleasant!
Lee Hawkins - lovely chap.
Nice story and even nicer attitude to life.
If all teachers were as good as him then our kids would be flying.
