Am near Lilongwe, Malawi at Kimbali Lodge for the 9th International Permaculture Convergence. It started on Monday 2nd but I was a day late thanks to being stuck in Bahrain for 2 extra days. Am sharing a thatch-roofed mud-hut with 3 yanks. Showers are outside and toilet is long drop. No power, only kero lanterns. But living conditions are significantly better than the caravan. Think I’ll just stay here. Food is delux, local, organic. Many interesting/stimulating workshops and conversations.
After the conference, about 15 people are doing a Permaculture site tour in a safari bus that will go through Malawi then onto Zambia and Zimbabwe. I’m thinking about joining and disembarking at Livingstone which will put me about 150km away from Mwandi on about Nov 17th.
I’ve been absolutely hammered by mossies but so far no malaria…and all is good.
Hi Clee, please fast forward the maid in an express bag!!!!!. Glad to hear all is well. Caravan is still there. CFS burning off block up the road from you. Pook put sheep in the other day. Not much difference yet. Solved house problem. Cut door in tank and it will remind you of africa for a few more years. All mods and renovations start with a 9 in. angle grinder. Bye. Dave
