Brikama College

We arrived at the college just before 11.00am finally meeting Anne, unfortunately Paul had only just started his meeting as one of the lecturer’s had turned up late. Anne showed us into the VSO Office and the children amused themselves drawing some pictures of birds for Amy and Anne. We ate our picnic lunch then with Paul still not finished we went for a walk along a sandy path at the back of the college. As we approached the sports field area a beautiful turquoise bird flew over and perched itself in a tree, I managed to get a photo however not very clear on checking Abigail’s bird book we think it may have been a Blue-bellied Roller. We continued along a dusty track which was made worse by Bradley running and kicking up the sand, passing a few locals on bikes along the way who would stop for a quick chat. We headed back to the college managing to miss Paul who had gone looking for us, Bradley was filthy his clothes and face were covered in sand.

Finally all together we jumped in the car and drove the rest of the way into the centre of Brikama and the market area. We had a quick look around as it was very busy Paul purchased some seeds for the vegetable garden. We paid a visit to Amy’s compound much to Abigail’s pleasure before leaving for home. On the way back Abigail wanted to spend some of her birthday money so we called into Wishes Gift Store where she bought a lovely little red handbag very grown up. Also whilst I took the kids to the car Paul quickly bought some Christmas Presents for them.
