Belated news from the farm

I've got belated news and pictures from the farm in New Kasama. We had a bit of rain there as you can see from the earlier posting, not enough to spoil the golf but plenty for growing vegetables.

Dad's pointing at some okra here...

...oranges...

...but mostly corn (Greffen looking proud there)...


...corn...

...and more corn! There'll certainly be no risk of running out of nshima. There's also a chicken coop now

...although not too many eggs yet. Meanwhile work continues on the extension.


This is the inside of the roof with the conduits that the electricity wires will be passed through later. Elsewhere the builders are cutting out thin strips of the walls to lay other conduits before everything can be plastered.


I hear that that Mum was away for New Year but that Ba Clement organised a party in the extension. They put down straw mats on the floor, got out benches and foldable chairs and fired up a brai.
