One thing that is nice about this compound is that there are many many trees. They provide good protection from the strong sun in the heat of the day. The only thing about the many trees is that there are so many leaves to be swept up during the dry season! 
We have many fruit trees, including: lemon, mandarin, avocado, mango and mulberry bushes. When they are in season it is lovely – you generally have to compete with the children to get any fruit – as they leg it up the trees and take what ever is going! As well as competing with the children for fruit we have to compete with the monkeys! They tend to come especially for the mulberries. (frustrating when you want to make mulberry jam!) Of course no one competes for the lemons!
This compound also has many beautiful flowers – I've been enjoying some lovely ones in my small flower beds. They spring up on their own – without much attention from me or the gardener. So the place is colourful and I benefit through the differnt seasons.......
