Visitors

Great excitement!  The chap from South Africa, Hans, came and spent Friday night with us as he had meetings.  He kindly brought a suitcase of things with him to make our lives a little easier.  We should have been at home this weekend, so it was a wonderful second place! Thank you to Kell for running around trying to find all these things for us!  She still has not sent her Christmas presents as this suitcase was 23 kgs without her gifts!



With him came Willem Hattingh (met a "h" op die einde) from Adams Road in Hayfields.  He is the planner for the same company, married to Louisa.
 













Arno, on the left is from Brazil.  The hysterical thing about him is his surname....its Brune.  He must have thought he was famous when he first arrived in Bantama!!!  He works in the nursery and lives at the hotel next door.

Hans Michel is on the right.  I am friends with his wife Marja on facebook.

Warren Heathman, married to Teresa, comes from Hilton.



Warren, and Martin Eweg from Kloof, (right) married to Coral, are staying at the hotel for two weeks.  They are here to check soils for a sugarcane project with the same company.










 So, we invited everyone for supper and it was the most exciting thing that has happened to me since we have been in Ghana!

Even Gundi joined us for a while!

Copious amounts of laughter, naughty comments and company!!!  Gundi was well behaved though!


We had mutton, but now I am in doubt as Willem thought that it might be goat! (But that was before he tasted my delicious meal!!!) (Wink, wink!)

We finished off with bread and butter pudding again, as that is one of the only puddings for which I have most of the ingredients.

    1. Hi again Haze
      The heat here isn't as bad anymore. Either it is getting cooler or I am getting used to it. No matter where you are, heat is heat and hot is hot! Love you, Shan.
