Tim's Mum spend time meeting Mama Lucy

She was showing off her skills at making bricks

and demonstrating how she could make a fence

herself.  Her husband had died years ago, and she

had 5 daughters.  She was the matriarch of her

mbumba (family group).

Carting maize was always a yearly event.  Mama Lucy front in while and black, would ensure our kids were safe and looked after.

Meals at Mama Lucy's house were a regular thing for special occasions.

She knew how to look after the men folk, her son-in-laws with Tim and boys.

This was the hut I sat in yesterday.  Such a difference.
