When we are home we get asked many questions that seem to imply ‘living in Mwanza must be hard’. However much we try to reassure folk that it isn’t, we reckon that knowledge of David Livingstone, the ‘Heart of Darkness’ (the Congo not Tanzania) and the ‘White Man’s Grave’ (West not East Africa) makes our inquisitors hard to convince. We tell of the Rock City Shopping Mall, less than ten minutes from our door, and that we arrive in Mwanza on an Airbus not behind a yoke of oxen! So we needed some photographic evidence and here it is – a plate of chocolate cakes! Admittedly our first while being here but definitive proof that we are not deprived! Mrs Livingstone never managed such baking (as far as we know), so it sucked to be David. One final comment, that will make Christine’s pals raise their eyebrows – she said the cakes ‘aren’t really for us but just a trial for when our ‘kids’ arrive’, in about a week’s time! These are chocolate cakes and, I am pleased to report, made with Tanzanian cocoa.
