The simple things in life

Imagine waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds tweeting away in the trees... the wind gently caressing your face and then you open your eyes and see this...



These are the simple things in life, these are the things i miss about Sierra Leone.

Den kin say smell but nor taste but dis nar see but nor experience!!! I miss home. The birds singing sweetly in the morning...no chance of a lie in with nature buzzing all around, but do I care... of course not! I miss the smell of the earth when a hot spell is followed by rain... I miss the rich green of the foliage... I miss seeing the rain storms coming in from Lungi, slowly skipping over the sea, gliding over Kissy and slowing rising up the hills to meet us... I miss the place that I will always call home.

i spent 9 months in Sierra Leone in 2002-03 and travelled extensively through this fascinating country. Reading these accounts brings it all back and makes me want to return soon!
