Window on Wednesday….”Vote solidly for Jeff Conteh”

I love this window…this is the window to a little shop in the village behind the beach we visited on Monday. It is a meeting place for the villagers…painted very patriotically in the the national colours of Sierra Leone…blue, white and green….

Relaxing day at the beach

Usually a visit to the beach is rewarded by this flock….

My visit home…

 South Africa Aug 11 031
One of my favourite little birds …crested barbet…he matches the colours of the leaves so well…truly beautiful..
Arriving back in the country of my birth was such an emotional experience…smells, sounds, the familiar embraced me warmly. I observed many changes…mostly good…I was encouraged by what I saw…
Meeting up with friends and family listening to their views on the direction the country is heading was mostly positive…
It was good to be home…it was great to spend quality time with my Son and his lovely girlfriend…lovely memories have been stored in my treasure chest to be visited on the not so good days…
Looking forward to our next visit some time in the not too distant future…
