Tasek Merimbun

We took a picnic to Tasek Merimbun and walked around the Lake , we also visited the Heritage Centre. The weather was overcast but comfortable and we all had a lovely day. On the way home David took us off the beaten track to a rural area where the people are descended from the native tribes.












Christopher loved this warning sign

Limes






We picked fresh limes today from back garden, other fruits are Mango and Pineapple. Squirrels eat the fruit, but are to quick to Photograft. David has been in bed all day with a bad stomach, so i have looked after Stephanie while Jane has done the school runs. Christopher had a friend Charlotte to stay after school.

David and i went shopping for warm clothes for the family as it will be cold in England when they come back. There was not much choice as very few people visit a cold country from Brunei. Jane and children had gone to play with Toby and Charlotte next door. Some pictures of fruit trees in the Simpang (means street) outside David and Janes house. Papaya fruit, Bananas and Coconuts. Also Some pictures of Christopher and Stephanie taken today.
