Oh yes! I see red today! Why? Well I’ll tell you what happened to me  this week on Monday which has left me simmering…

I went to buy groceries in”x” (won’t mention names today) supermarket on Monday. Among many things, I bought I saw and bought canned ham ( I know – not the best of foods ) for Le4,500 each. Yesterday I went to the same supermarket and this time I didn’t even check the price because surely it must be the same 3 days later, right? Wrong! Guess what, after I’d brought my groceries home, I noticed that the same luncheon meat, same size, weight etc cost an eye-popping Le5,800!

Talk about inflation, this is broad daylight robbery! Very soon, I’ll start mentioning names – yes the supermarket culprits….

Have a great day!

We undertook our Easter trip on Sat instead on the traditional Easter Monday so as avoid traffic and crowds.

We went to the No2 River/Beach in Sussex , Sierra Leone and boy once again, it was worth it! Granted I still think so far Bureh Beach has my first vote but No2 had some form of customer service which is organized by the local people for the local area.

Talk about white sands…. the beach was unspoilt, sands white, water turquoise and running for about 3 miles and have I mentioned all this against an unspoilt mountain range??

Oh Salone is beautiful, but it’s easy to get used to it and take it for granted. I hope I never will.

The children enjoyed it most of all swimming and building sand castles. We took a long walk along the beach and had a lovely time.

Will add pictures soon. Stay tuned….

Hey,

I’m so happy that AT LAST! I’m able to launch this blog about my life in Sierra Leone. This is a vision I’ve had since January 2008 but due to many factors have not been able to start it but today I woke up and thought, it’s time to put it together   now here I am very excited, indeed! I hope this blog will

• enlighten Sierra Leoneans abroad as to how life really is here.
• encourage the Salone Diaspora, to invest and if possible physically come and make some input into their country.
• be an enjoying read to you the reader
• and finally, enable me to let off steam. Very important!
