9 1/2 weeks

I have been in Ghana for 9 1/2 weeks but can't find Mickey Rourke or the food in the fridge!

We went to Atebubu last Sunday afternoon to buy some groceries.  (The truck eventually came back.) We hadn't had dish washer for three days as it had sold out Bantama and we had to wait to have time off to go and find it elsewhere.

 Porks had his first ice-cream!  Frozen milo!  Have I told you that Ghanaians say "meelo"?



Much cheaper than by car and one can still take the whole family!



Robbie, you were in Ghana!  (Not quite right but close enough for me to have a huge smile on my face and joy in my heart!



                                                                          
They are grading the road outside our house. 
By the looks of it, its going to be a highway!  Hopefully, they'll calm the wild sea road to Kwame Danso - the worst road around!













Warren and Martin came around on Monday evening for crumpets and coffee and we invited them back for supper last night (Friday) with some others.

Martin and Arno, both bronys, one a double one though.








Benji Ruck (as in rugby with an "r") from Israel popped across for pudding.  (Not from Israel, from the hotel, man!)
We had spaghetti and mince and then jelly, "fruits" and custard.


Warren loves Gundi and vice versa and took many pictures to send back home.


Tony also visited us for a while, so we had a crowd again.....yay!!!










These two "dinner parties" have been the most exciting things that have happened to me since I have been in Ghana!


                                             Porks sans glasses and a happy Shannie!






P.S. Happy 90th birthday Mom!
Happy birthday special Wendy!

  1. Nine and a half weeks ... LOL!!!

    That is a lovely, happy pic of you and Porkey Shan. Also enjoyed the pics of all your visitors whom little Gundi seems to have appreciated as well.

    ... And, that pic of four on a bike, plus all the groceries, ONLY in Africa (hee!).

    Stay well and happy you two!

    Love from a very hot and smokey Gold Coast!

    1. Yes, it was wonderful having someone else to talk to! Normally Porks is the only person with whom I get to have a conversation! I also speak to Gundi but her conversation skills are limited!XXX

  2. Hey Shan, I see the boy band, "One Direction", from the UK were in Accra! Any news in your area about them?
