Filed under: In Malawi — clarecaley @ 6:12 pm and



I am staying with a lovely family but I still have to work out exactly who is a member! The host father is a minor chief. Then there is mother and her daughter along with two sons, aged three and one. There are also several teenage boys.

My interpreter ‘Mac’ is a cousin but not always present but two of the other boys speak a little English so we all manage.

Getting up at 6am every morning is easier than I expected as we go to bed at 8pm. The cockerel is a very good alarm in the morning.

The food is more varied than I expected but there are lots of carbohydrates. The headteacher has taught me to chew sugar cane!
