Matrimony and Mangos

The mango season has started!

This is big news. Mangos are very very tasty and Malawians have been talking about them a LOT for months. Looking forward to much mango chutney, pickle, salad, etc etc. I can already report that the wee ones are better for not getting juice EVERYWHERE but leave horrible fibres in your teeth (knew I'd packed tooth floss for a reason...) Am told the more expensive 'pink blush' ones, not yet available in Blantyre, will already be harvested further north.

Hurray! To celebrate 4 years of marital bliss (ahem) we're off to the lake this avo for the weekend. Four years is fruit and flowers – no flowers yet (ahem) but am on a mission to buy lots and lots of fancy mangos up there and use as currency when back in BLT!

PS – we spent our anniversary breakfast at a MM 'business breakfast' fund-raiser – the glamour and romance of standing in a dusty playground being fed fortified, sickly sweet porridge was almost too much! ;-)
