When I first arrived in the Horn as a university lecturer, I would never have guessed that I’d discover such a friendly and welcoming community. I’m blessed with experienced and reliable colleagues, but we’re also able to have fun. I have a sweet tooth, so when I discovered that there was a lovely little ice cream shop next to the university, I soon developed a new habit. Much to my surprise and joy however, it didn’t take long before my guilty pleasure began to catch on. And soon there was a little group of us who’d sneak out between lectures (and sometimes before lunch!)
