Not in my humble oppinion
'Maidens' Finest Hour but Bearable
so an alternative, which may not fit with the narrative and images, might be
attached to the next episode!
It somehow seemed wrong to be enjoy a sumptious al fresco meal that first evening
while semingly everyone beyond the gates were starving,
but like my company at dinner (another US citizen and Samaritan) Jane, who was also there
attempting to make things easier for the local population.
Time to do a bit of exploring after a very early breakfast, but not before
getting a few pointers from Ernso.
The whole of the huge garden was well appointed holding many
flowering plant, bushes and trees, plus a wealth of bird life
(this being the front)
such as
TROPICAL KINGBIRD
ZENAIDA DOVE
BLUE-GREY TANAGER
and the ubiqitous
BANANAQUIT
while the back was given over to a variety of gentle sports, not least
SWIMMING
plus another array of Birdlife such as
one of my personal favourite Yanks
CAPE MAY WARBLER
but more particularly when in this
'adult summer plumage'.
The Businessman at Work
VILLAGE WEAVER
found across much of Sub-Saharan Africa from where it was introduces,
a huge colony of which were just across the road.
More construction going on around the pool and the odd sighting of
the more than nifty
OVENBIRD
named from the construction of its nest.
Rock 'n' Roll Trivia:-
'Maiden' have had a chequred career as far as personnel are concerned but, along with maybe the vast majority, the current line up is favoured by myself. They comprise of 3 Lead Guitarists - Dave Murray, Janick Gers and Adrian Smith with the drum stool occupied by 'snooker freak' Nicko McBrain. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson is also a long-haul Passenger Airline Pilot while bassist Steve Harris was the original founder of the band back in 1975 and composes most, if not all, of their music!
