    Nice pictures Pam though the bit we were in was the broken down Fort we rigged tents next to the vehicles not wanting to be over run by what ever haunted the very smelly ruins. Luckily it was midsummer and the weather like the people wonderful. Never went back though I believe it is now a museum and Hotel.

    Frank.

    Sleep is not proving possible at the moment.

    Love that Nutmeg plant, amazing smell.

    Met a lovely chap, at a road side food stall, got talking to him, and it turned out he owned a garden, that he had been building for 6 years, and he wanted to open to the public.

    I went to visit his 2 acre garden, and have never seen anything like it, every known tropical plant, plus a few from England as well.

    He took me round the garden, and we swapped stories, he was a lovely man.

    I took a load of fliers he had made, and took them to a few local hotels.

    Us gardeners seem the same the world over.

    Morning all.

    In bed at 9.15 last night and slept almost unbroken until 8am.

    Hubby confronted our next door neighbour yesterday in bar and said :

    " you kept us awake all last night. Try it again and I'll break the door down and rip your f***in head off"

    Seemed to have done the trick.

    Steve, I couldn't possibly tell you where to find a holiday like this. I like you too much. 

    Lyn, I've been looking at the weather back home. Has it actually stopped raining at all, at any point, since we left? See you next week for a cuppa and a catch up. x

     

     

    I take it you won't be looking for a bargain package holiday anymore then.

    I can imagine G saying that, in his best accent as wellimage

    I think it must have stopped raining one afternoon last week because Roland got a job out. apart from that...no.image

    Hope you have a safe and uneventful journey home, see you next week. x

  • Hi all,

    Wecome home Punkdoc, what a lovely story. image

    Nearly welcome home Hosta, sorry tale there. image

    I've been ill again today, thought I was fine but this afternoon had to go back to bed. The antibiotics finished Monday, not sure now if I need more, but I feel a bit better after my sleep. The awful taste is still up my nose though. image

    Didn't help that I drove Charlie 3/4s of the way to horse riding and then he got sick and I had to turn around and come straight back. image He went to be for about 10 minutes and then he was fine. image

    Will have a lazy evening and hope I am better tomorrow. image
