    A jeep drove us upstream and we came back down river in one of these. No noisy outboard motor - just the river current: P1040206.JPG
    Marsh muggers on the river bank

    walked up the bank to the village. House with thatched barn. Prone to fire damage in Summer. Gradually being replaced by corrugated tin roof - no annual maintenance.

    And a cattle shed

    Handwashing. Note, no washing machines here but at least there are hand pumps with fresh water now

          Sod that for a game of soldiers - that is why you'd never get me swimming in the sea, we are just not meant to be in there.
