Hail and Hearty

Sometimes the weather here is surprising. It is the rainy season, so we expect rain. But this week it hailed large stones. Malcolm was glad he wasn’t caught out in it!




 If its raining it must be time for a barbeque. Most of the women had gone away for the weekend so Rory arranged a lunch at his plot of land. At first the fire was difficult to light because all the wood was damp.


Once the fire was going the kids enjoyed freshly cooked popcorn, though we wondered if they were a bit reluctant to share it.





After lunch there was a chance for a quick dip in the pond, though someone thought the weather might turn bad again!




This week’s African Proverb from the BBC’s website is from Ghana: “Butter laughs at the salt when it rains forgetting that the sun will soon shine”.
