pps you're great 16 September 2008
Jambo, all. Today there is a signal so, although I know some of you prefidious wretches have contacted Richard via the site to tell him he is the voice of reason etc, tis ME back again now – it seems a waste to, er, WASTE the signal and don’t worry I won’t stop him blogging.
We visited a lot of agricultural projects today and I have come back to our billet weighed down with the best of fruit (bananas, avocadoes, paw paws) as well as the most delicious macadamia nuts I have ever tasted. The people are so thrilled with the training we have helped give them and they are so generous too with their produce. I was also gifted a cockerel and eggs so part of that haul will be lunch tomorrow – hope it’s not the chicken just yet – he’s a handsome devil and I hope he lives to see a few more adventures before the pot. If he is dinner tomorrow I may have to go the vegetable route…I also milked a super goat today, called Lucy, and her young kid is now called Pauline! When I say super goat I mean she’s not just great but also bred to produce more milk and meat that the ordinary local lads. It’s been amazing so far and I am so proud to be part (though only a TINY part) of the World Vision Ireland programme. When you see such a success story you get all spurred on to do more. Bring it on.
Back to you now Richie
