We know we've been in the village for a while when Simon's field is being planted for the second year running! We're branching out this year - not only are we planting corn and okra, but we're trying our hands at tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines and carrots. Not that we're doing much, to be honest, most of it had already been planted when we arrived back from Europe! But Simon and Benjy have been helping with wedding and re-planting parts of the field.
The rains are disappointing so far this year - after starting late they haven't yet started to fall as regularly as the farmers would like. When they do come, we have been enjoying seeing the sky turn dark, and the wind pick up - seen here behind the recently-planted peanut field next to our house:
