Visit to our old house

Friday 14th October - early morning coffee routine settled in with a chat with Les and Ant.  It's just so wonderful to wake up to sunny mornings.

At lunchtime we drove over to meet up with Alastair and Adele at The Bottom Drawer in Alex Park just off Second Street extension.  It's an old house that has been converted into a shop and cafe with many tables in its garden.  Service is very friendly but a bit slow; but no matter as we were really in no hurry and the food is good.

Once the double A's had gone back to work Penny and I set off for a drive to check out our old house.  
The gardener was keen to talk to us in English and put his language skills into practice.  We were invited inside by Semedia and her daughter and we had a house tour.  They are obviously very happy there and it was a real pleasure to meet them and see what's been done there.
We then drove up to Kamfinsa which I really didn't recognise much as it has changed so much and then I found my way over to Chisipite School.  We wandered around a bit.  Penny was quite amazed at what both Saints and Chisi had to offer.  We haven't gone to the Convent yet or Speciss; only driven past.  So after an afternoon of reminiscence and being very careful of Stop signs we got back to the flat and got ready to go out for supper at Coimbra.  I think I was so excited about having a good peri peri chicken that I was so disappointed when it was actually pretty tasteless and too mild for me. There was no extra sauce to put on top other than garlic and some sort of stiff chilli paste.  The wine was very good though!  Will just have to go again!
