The Gambia Interpreter Project was something we supported last year. Unfortunately Darren Townsend-Hanscombe has reported there have been several unexpected problems which may mean the intended plans will no longer be possible. It will be difficult to return the donations to original donors as some of the money is spent, but he will discuss with others the best way to use the remaining money.

Did you know..that you should not pick blackberries after the 29th September?
29th September is the feast of St. Michael of All Angels, who fought with Satan and throw him out of heaven. Folk law says that Satan spat on the blackberries as he descended into Hell! Although this is just a tradition, blackberries never taste as good in October.
