4.11.13 Monday Shopping




Woken by the sun and so up early and off to buy supplies.  First call to the bank where the exchange rate is a whopping 61 to the £1.  The highest it has ever been. We shopped for food supplies and then called at the garden centre were we had to buy some replacement trees for the garden.  There has been a plague of white fly which has killed some of our plants and trees, so the garden is looking sparse this year. Everyone in the area has been affected, mostly it is the bougainvillea which has died.  The evening was spent watching Kebba, Malik and Alagie spray all the affected plants and cut down those too far gone to be saved.  Hammy, our neighbour and lawyer visited to welcome us back.  We then went round to Neil’s bar for the first visit of the year.
