On my return to Mzuzu on 28 August, my welcoming party consisted of Jimmy, Paul and Charity. Charity was to be my host for the time in Mzuzu and what a graceful host she was. Cared for by two young men , Gift and Tonics, I was well tended to, bathed and fed like a queen. Charity is a nurse who cares for and is highly respected by the Chipambo community. I unfortunately did not get any photos of Charity since she was continually running around being a very busy bee. My favourite Malawian catch phrase, or rather welcome wish is, "feel free". I truly do.
Home of some of the finest coffee
And wild macadamia nuts
My favourite viewing platform from under a healthy mango tree, not yet with fruit, but soon I believe.
Healthy river bed cabbage patch.
Gift (in blue) and his friend Michael. Michael's dream is to come to South Africa just so that he can save enough to build a home for his mother.
Tonics my friend, cooking up a meal of fish and nsima.
These little guys found a way out of their house and left their brothers and sisters in search of fresh pastures. My heart was stolen.
My friend Gift and his proud banana tree
Wild pineapple

Foot note: My condolences go out to this bereaved family for the loss of their beloved Sinya Mushali on the 2nd of September 2017. May there be no more suffering and may he rest in peace.
