Although I treated Henry and me to a lovely weekend at Kosi Forest Lodge two weekends back, I still wanted to make a bit of a fuss on his actual day. I could not bring him to Fancy Stitch for lunch as I was away in the bush attending two of our ten clinics. So, instead we had a pudding party. These are regular events here at Mosvold. As the name suggests, they involve everyone bringing a pudding. I made a chocolate cake with candles for the birthday boy. It was a great evening with loads of people from all different ages from our community here in Ingwavuma. We played the name game which was great fun. Outside entertainment was provided by a magnificent lightning storm. At one point we began to doubt whether Henry would see much of his 31st year as one of the forks hit a tree not 10 metres from our house. A few verses of ‘favourite things’ (Sound of Music) helped settle the nerves. Gradually the storm subsided.
