More Ghanaian Love

I'm really tempted to dwell on the weather, as I know that Britain is suffering a particularly nasty cold snap right now. Well Ghana, has turned from tropical and breezy, "chill-o't", to rather uncomfortable sweaty nights. Daytime, lush. Gorgeous, sun, my tan is getting buff. We spent SunDAY at Shangri-la, which just like La Palm, is a really nice hotel/swimming pool, with great Western Grub. Particularly Lebanese style food. (finally know what that involves, and BOY do I love it). Hommous...NOT Tesco value...proper stuff. K so Shangri-la also does Chinese, as you'd expect by the name ;)

This place is full of Chinese tbh. Can't figure it rele.

It's quite amusing that I'm writing about sun, when I was teaching O come all ye faithful WITH DESCANT to the kiddies today. AND Silent Night. I was slightly tempted to go for White Christmas, even Let it Snow! haha.
Tomoz is my last day at Mount Mary's.
I am really really REALLY gonna miss them. Especially the spontaneous bursts of "Jubilate!" or "We are marching..." they really do love those two...

I mentioned to the classes I had today, that I would be going, and they were in floods of tears. I think their only comfort was that they could write to me, and vice versa, as I am leaving my addy with the head. But with paper being an expensive material, and very hard to come by, I think it was fairly conclusive that they would never see me again. I know how that feels. I felt exactly the same when I got attached to friends older than me, who cared for me.

There are a few a boy and girl aged 13, and another girl aged 14 who really want penpals. If anyone knows of anyone who would be committed to doing this, and who is this age, or near enough; let me know. It's really good for your English (and their writing is exceedingly legible). as you have to think when reading the grammar! and it improves your own.

So now onwards, to the Orphanage. I can't believe I have been here a month, time has gone so quickly

Last weekend I went to a Charity fundraiser, raising money for the flooding up North. Headlining was John Legend, and Luciano. It was AMAZING!
So were the remaining reggae acts...and if I didn't feel I'd ticked the African music box, I'm going to see some more tonight, though quite what style it is, I haven't figured yet!

God bless
