I was delighted this week to take part in a couple of online seminars for school students from Pavlodar Secondary School No 26 in northern Kazakhstan. Several of the students have started a project to trace the journeys of Thomas and Lucy Atkinson through their country in the 1840s. I would like to thank their teacher, Kalamkas Zhangazina for organising the seminars so efficiently. And to Arman and Dilnaz, I would like to say Senderge jumysta sattilik tileimin. Iske sat!

How cool to see that a Kazakh school is studying my ancestors! I know there is mention in some school text books about the Atkinsons, but this sounds as if the class is really going into depth about their really incredible feat of exploration.
