It is now the rainy season in Rwanda and within the past 24 hours I have already experienced two massive downpours, with thunder and lightning. Of course, we are lucky because in between the downpours, the sun returns which doesn't often happen in England. But the climate definitely feels different to how it was 3 weeks ago and I'm not looking forward to experiencing a downpour mid-moto ride!
I was very happy to find that my tomatoes had ripened whilst I was away. Patrick has, very kindly, been picking them for me and this is what I found in my kitchen: 
I was quite pleased with myself to have grown these from seed (look back through my blog for the photo of tomatoes growing in my garden).
This afternoon, having been to the market, I set about making bolognese using my new mincer, which my aunt kindly bought for me: 
The mincer works a treat and has drastically enhanced my menu options...Now I am dreaming of hamburgers, shepherds pie and fajitas which are all within my reach- feeling like quite the domestic goddess!
As for work, the next couple of weeks will be very busy as we begin data collection for the Monitoring and Evaluation part of our VSO work. I will endeavour to blog again soon as I am sure the findings will be interesting and will hopefully demonstrate the impact we have been having at a local level.
