It is a sad state of affairs but ... with the litter and mess we see all around us in many streets and towns in England, if its black and in a tree it has to be plastic, if it's brightly coloured and on the ground it has to be somebody's sweet paper or plastic wrapper.
The internet tree at Lamin Lodge. One of the most fascinating scenes in The Gambia is the fish catch. Scenes of a small fish catch being landed in the morning (taken from the Banjul to Barras ferry) are as vibrant and full of life and colour as the much larger catch landed in the evening at Tanji. Even the gulls (and terns) are satisfied. It was a trip to Senegal to see warthogs that had originally sold The Gambia to me. The trip to Senegal was special. We managed to see all of the animals on the reserve. Although some had been brought up from South Africa all of the species had originally been wild in Senegal. Some were still wild and common in The Gambia. But it wasn't just the trip to Senegal. Callithrix monkeys (their faces look just like my little Cairn terrier!) and Western red colobus monkeys in Bijilo and Abuku, Guinea baboons in Makasutu and crocodiles in a pond on the beach by the hotel - this was every wildlife programme come to life. |
Angela TorpeyI have taught Egyptology for nearly 25 years, for 21 years with the Centre for Lifelong Learning, the University of Warwick and for just over 10 years on the internationally recognised Certificate of Egyptology (Distance Learning by e-Learning) with the University of Manchester led by Professor Rosalie David.
Because of changes to the lifelong learning programme at Warwick I now teach independently, although I also teach dayschools for the university. For nearly 20 years I have led Study Tours to Egypt both independently and as guest lecturer with Ancient World Tours. Archives
