A friend sent me this picture this morning, I just HAVE to repost it – it was captioned ‘Only in Africa’….

….and it reminded me of my first few trips to Africa, and the wonderful shop names, many now forgotten, but these are indelible! –

The ‘God has done it Beauty Parlour’

The Lamb of God Mattress Company

I shall not die Motors

The Blood of Jesus Sewing Centre

God of Mercy – dealers in large and small brassieres

Nothing but Christ Electrical Store

We cut heads Barbers

God is present – dealers in Nappies and Sanitary towels

God is all you need – but come and shop here anyway!

AND…. for me, the absolute best of all:

THE HOLY SPIRIT WINES & BEERS SHOP!

Why would anyone NOT want to travel, when you can see such ‘gems’ on every side of the street!
