The demise of our Papaya tree. We came home from work to find that the tree had fallen over. I just did not have enough root depth

                                                      The trunk after it had been chopped up

                                                 The leaves and the small green papaya

We now have mushrooms growing at the base of the tree but do not know if they are edible.

I have collected all the papaya to give to the members. They use green papaya for cooking and making pickle so not all is wasted. I have given up growing tomato plants as twice some one has pulled up my tomatoes. I also had been growing an avocado tree but a builder decided to pour a pile of cement he had over on top of it. I do not think that my gardening efforts are appreciated. I have started giving all my gardening things to Apple as she has a roof garden she is cultivating.

The famous bangus fish which I enjoyed while being filmed for the local TV. Other people see me on the TV but not me. I hope that the local trade improved. I was also in the company of one Australian, somebody from the Isle of Wight and his Fillipno wife two Japanese gentlemen.We ended up in the Mayors office for more refreshments. In the mayors office pictured with Miss Dagupan I did remark the beauty and the beast.

The local Mayor and his son. I was invited along to eat the local fish bangus on local TV. the has been a fish kill they call it. Thousands of fish died in the fish pens,due to the changes in the weather and the lack of oxgyen. People would not eat the local fish so the Mayor got an event together to proove that it was safe to eat the fish. I have become one of the rent a visitor crowd. I am happy to do any thing that will help local fisher men and their families make a living. This is the third time I have been on TV. We were a little nlate getting to the event and my companion Bula got a call you are late the Mayor is waiting for you !!!!! I am having to publish one picture at a time, to get the blog to work, so more to follow.
