Mother's Day






Mother's Day in Solomons is a surprisingly big event. Presents get shipped home to mother's in the villages, feasts are cooked.Even the Prime Minister puts a half page ad in the local paper to wish Mother's of the Nation best wishes for the day!!

My day started with breakfast in bed, pressies and then we went to the beach for a swim and general laze about.

This afternoon we are adding 5 more mother's to the household as we inherit a friend's laying hens. They should produce between 20 -30 eggs a week for us. Poppy has plans to sell them at the gate but I suspect there won't be any to spare after they have been shared between the security guys, Cathy and us.

So from us, and Dr Sikua the Prime Minister of Solomon Islands Happy Mother's Day to all you mother's!!!
