Back at the Lake

I've been back at the lake now for a week. i was welcomed back at Kumasi airport last sunday night by Andrew, Rebecca and Michael after a very long, interesting and somewhat stressful day of traveling so it was good to see familiar, friendly faces.

So what has this week held for me?

More awesome sunsets...


A chance to spend some time with Luiza while Lucas was in school...we decorated the 'spider web' tree in our house with little tear drop gems and a red heart for all of her family and one for me and Rebecca...


Then on Saturday there was the big matinee of 'The Sound of Music'...kinda hard to remember we are in such a remote part of Africa when you're doing something like that!!!

Today was the first i actually made it out of the compound. Rebecca and i went to the Apostolic church in Adjamam with James and Michael as Michael was preaching. My first time at this church but we were made to feel very welcome.
On our way back we stopped to buy some 'gari and beans' for Rebecca and Michael decided to try his hand at making 'banku' i dont think he quite had the knack after seeing the lady who took over after him!!

I was on lunch duty today and well the gas canister decided to give up half way through cooking our pizza's...thats never good. So thankfully Michael and James were on hand to help 2 damsel's in distress......and of course nothing to do with the fact it was their lunch cooking as well!! Tonight we took a walk to Ankaase lakeside...speaking to the chief of Atafram along the way and a quick game of football with the children in Ankaase - which we won 2-1 no thanks to any help from me!!!

It was great to be at the side of the lake again, sharing it with 4 very special people.Me, James, Anas, Becca and MichaelSome lakeside banter!!Not quite sure what Michael was doing here!!
This picture was taken only minutes after the 1st group one - thats just how quickly it gets dark here once the sun goes down!
The other 4 decided to go out to one of the small fishing 'boats' or logs but i thought it would be better to remain on dry and solid ground along with our gathering band of followers...

They even followed , singing songs all the way, as far as Atafram... ...where we said 'Da Yie'.

So it's great to be back...and im sure there will be many more tales to come.

Blessings :)
