Last day then homeward bound

Our last day was a busy one trying to complete as much of the work as we could before tidying up to go home.

Things were going well until about 30 minutes before finish time when Nick cut his hand on the blade of a Stanley knife. We dressed the wound and took him to a clinic in Odessa for attention, as the wound was quite deep.

After an examination the doctor decided that the wound was not too bad, cleaned it and then redressed the wound.

After our evening meal we went down to Odessa to see the Opera House and other sight by night, our vehicle then broke down and after a number of phone calls and checks it appeared to be a problem with the engine management system. We waited for another vehicle to arrive to collect us and tow the broken-down vehicle back to the church. We finally got to bed just after midnight. Only to be up again early to check in for our 7am flight.

Fortunately the flight was on time and after long queues at Kiev for security and passport control we boarded our flight to London.

The journey from London back to Worcester was made with a detour to avoid tailbacks on the M25, we finally arrived home at about 5.30pm, tired but happy to be back.

Look out  for a further blog next week with more photos of the work.
