Well we walked to M’bueca last Sunday and had lunch with Elias and family. That was great, we also met a lot of his neighbours, met the village chief, the deputy chief, saw the church, school, and were warmly welcomed. There is one lady there with triplets, 3 months old, tiny little bundles still.
The walk was 2 hours each way, the whole day was 7 hours. When we got back a swim in the lake was a welcome cooling relief to tired feet and aching limbs.
Monday in the morning I was at the farm watering and planting squash and marigolds, pansies and red hot pokers. Today I planted the ginger in a long bed, it will be ready to harvest next year.
At Limes Park we woke to the sound of wood pigeons and motorway traffic. Here we wake to the sound of Fish Eagles calling and the waves on the lake.
There are many birds, Scarlet Breasted Sunbird, Bohms Bee Eater, Pied Crows, and many others I don’t know the names of.
Today as I came along the beach there were a family of Vervet Monkeys. A couple of them were making sure there would be more monkeys soon J
This Sunday we are planning another early start, going to church at 8.00 in Mala village. Will be interesting.
