Back in Tchale Village

A few weeks ago (yep, I've taken a bit of time away from the blog) I went back to Tchale Village to visit with Village Headman Tchale and his family. We wandered into the fields to check on the maize, groundnuts, tobacco, and other crops. Despite the rains coming a little later than usual VH Tchale's crops were all growing well. VH Tchale believes that the year will be good to him (he'll be able to make money by selling some maize and tobacco), and he's hoping to put a new tin roof on his house.

While I was there we chatted, ate some roasted groundnuts (delicious!), I took a lot of photos for people (I've given out some of the ones I took on my earlier visits and now my camera is in demand), and I helped Chifundo with some homework (math).

Next time a bit more about tobacco.
