After the Holiday

Posted by Phil on Tuesday, 3 November 2015

We've had visitors and been away. Beth and Paul came to see us for 12 days so we took them to some of the most historic parts of Ethiopia and we saw some things that are unique in the world. There's a gallery of the best pictures. Also, Chris wrote a post just before Beth and Paul arrived which I didn't tell you about so I've included it here. read on to find out about the Ark of the Covenant, and 5,000 skeletons.

One of the Aksum StellaeOur guide in the astonishing town of Lalibela had promised us a free African massage, and we were now getting it. Bouncing along a rough partially made road in a Toyota van I felt, well, massaged. Chris next to me; Beth and Paul behind, the arid countryside of parched grey earth, scattered acacia trees and primitive farming rushed by backed by truly spectacular mountain scenery.

Some of my plantsOn our balcony there are a collection of plants. Some I’ve been given, one I bought and a number have been carefully nurtured from cuttings. They look rather attractive and I enjoy tending them.
