It is with deep regret that most of us had not even begun to know Susan Tsvangirai, the wife of our Prime Minister and mother of their six children.

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.thepelhams.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=430&Itemid=150 Dear Family and Friends,These hot, humid and rainy February days are ones that will never be forgotten in the years ahead. We can still hardly even dare to hope that this unity government is going to work and trust is very thin on the ground. It still sticks in our throats that the losers of the March 2008 elections have simply refused to leave power for the last ten months and have got away it. How crazy is this! Suddenly we are seeing the very people who persecuted a population, looted the country's assets and bought starvation and disease to the land appearing on television saying: we must be tolerant of our differences and work together.

A heavy bank of purple clouds lay on the horizon broken by a few wisps of startling white. A slight breeze stirred in the trees and the air was busy with early birds: fork-tailed drongoes, bulbuls and shrikes. A ruckus in the Mulberry tree in my garden meant the weaver birds were awake. Four pairs of birds are breeding in the tree, they stripped the leaves from many branches before they were satisfied with their nests but now their little colony is well established.

It seems that at every turn there is a scam, scheme, fraud or fiddle going on and you have to proceed with extreme caution to avoid being cheated. Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100
