Visitors, Bolognese, Bath Soap and .... Bed !

This photo (taken today) shows the area between our house & the farm workshops - Kilimanjaro lies just behind that cloud !
Walking from the Guest Cottage, through the workshops, to the area in the first photo

It’s been a busy day on the farm today. We had the owner of the company my husband works for out from Europe, along with the General Manager of the Tanzanian operation with his wife and 3 children. We all get along really well though, so it was a lovely day with the kids all playing together and the adults catching up.

After early morning tea, coffee and biscuits, I served lunch out on the veranda for all of us (9 in total). I made Fettuccini with a Bolognese sauce and a second cheese, ham and onion sauce and served that with fresh bread rolls and a large salad. For pudding I made an Apricot crumble with custard, and the kids had ice cream !

After lunch we had tea and coffee again and in the late afternoon we all went for a short walk on the farm, around to the guest cottage and back again before everyone left to go home.


So, I am quite tired now after all the cooking and talking and catching up on town gossip (!!). I was spoiled today with a set of gorgeous Marks & Spencer Vanilla and Cocoa Butter bath soaps, and the latest “Hello” magazine …. so I am now heading off for a nice hot bath (it has been freezing cold here today) and to snuggle in bed and read my “Hello”, so……. goodnight, all - see you tomorrow :)
