Easter chicks

It has been a very enjoyable Easter.

We were delighted to receive a ‘food parcel’ from our son and daughter in law over the weekend. This came with a selection of goodies, including chocolate and little fluffy Easter chicks.

We did have chicken for our Easter Sunday lunch. Although we buy ours frozen from the local ‘supermarket’ (more recognisable as a corner shop) most people buy their chickens still alive and in need of plucking. These are often bought from the market or from men who bring one or two to town from their small holdings. There is one shop in Kisoro which sells them, along with a selection of kettles and other bits and pieces!

We buy our eggs (and bananas) from a shop owned by Hope with the help of her daughter, and Olive. This is a typical Ugandan shop selling a range of groceries and other basic provisions.

On Sunday we went to the service at the Cathedral. As you would expect during the service the children leave for their own Sunday School. A Sunday School class can be more than 100 children of various ages – we don’t know how the teacher copes!!!!
