The other side





I don't know the name of this plant but i think it could be family to the ice plant. It was growing on a large rock in full sun. It is a ground cover and ideal for seaside gardens. The leaves of this plant also reminds me of the yellow daisy bush wedelia trilobata that grows wild and is used as a ground cover.

On Sunday we took my visiting mother in law Barbara and my mother to lunch at the Round House in Bathsheba on the other side of the island. The views were spectacular and the trade winds constant. This is the windward side of the island and the nearest coast line is the African continent many thousand miles away. Many surfers hang out here for that big one, as well as many tourists looking for something a bit on the wild side. It is also the holiday spot for many locals who own second homes on this side of the island. It is about a half an hour drive from my house. The food was good. I had coconut shrimps and coconut pie a la mode for dessert.
