When my Mama was my age she went to live in Lusaka. My Mama LOVES Africa passionately and keeps reminding me of my African origins transmitted through my Mama's mutual adoption of the Zambian nation. She's the fat one in the front row third from right with pig tails ... Just before I decided to come into my Mama's life, she returned to Lusaka for a joyous trip down memory lane - this is the house that she grew up in - she's standing right in front of her old bedroom window. This is the lady who lives in that house now.
This is the Munies where my Mama's family used to go in the evenings to watch hockey and football matches - it looked very different back then, so she tells me!
Mama linked up with this friend of hers who is now a very famous Zambian national television presenter. And her brother made this special Zambian dress my Mama is sporting here, cos he's a really nifty tailor:Mama asked this crocodile if he remembered her last boat road down the Zambeze -he wasn't impressed ...

Mama will take you there someday and don't worry about the crocodiles, she scares 'em...
