So here are the pics I promised to velvet petal
Looks like I will be going back mid january and hopefully staying until end of Feb....my friend susie is marrying there in Feb......can't wait....our long term goal here is to host groups of like minded people for 2-3 weeks of drumming, dancing, singing and general merry making......but to do so with a view to putting something positive and financial back into the local economy...all of the land surrounding the houses is untouched bush...we are the only people for miles around who have not chopped everything down so its a bit of an Oasis....we have land which won't get built on and is being kept as a green sanctuary...susie is an environmentalist and is looking at showcasing sustainable living on part of the land.....the houses are all traditional mud brick built with thatched roofs....the builder builds to a Spiritual design.....Tubah Kabeirah is the name....its a reference to a place in the Koran...a beautiful place for good people to live.......its a dream coming into being.........
This is my friend sen's house...he owns the land.....
This is the house we just finished building...accomodation for 14
My family and some friends
sens......my brother
Dance class on the beach at sunset
Looking out over the land
Every night...close your eyes...hear the drums...voices singing and laughing.....insects calling....you might just be in Tubah Kabeirah

Thanks for the link, I've bookmarked that site.
I haven't found anything out really, as I said before I'm not enough of a player that people will want to fill in the gaps. Oh well.
