I remember liking this time of year first time around and now it is back again! Winter is slowly on its way here with the evenings getter colder where now a blanket is needed to sleep at night, though not quite the extra layers and socks that will be required come August. The days are still warm but as I wander around town going to various meetings now I don’t arrive drenched in sweat. This season is also great for the local fruits and vegetables on sale. The avocados (locally called cotapela) are huge, deliciously creamy and cost only around 40 pence. The small bananas are plentiful and sweet to eat, and the satsuma like green oranges (called manachi) are also in abundance. A good time to be in Zambia.
