At the end of the working day i.e. Tuesday evening my hostess Madame Rebecca Lewis invited me out to meet her family in Beckermet Village. It was the crowning event of the day. I had the pleasure of sharing some three hours in the company of Dr and Mrs Lewis i.e. Baba Rebecca and Mama Rebecca.
It was a very warm and friendly evening. It was my wish to meet Rebecca’s family as I have known Rebecca the last two times she has visitied Tanzania, in the last including 2012, so today my wish was fulfilled as we drove into a beautiful maisonette in Beckermet where Rebecca’s family live. Alongside the parents was Joshua, the last born of The Lewis’. There were also other close family friends visiting; Owain and Kim, members of the family. Only Tom and Hannah was missing.
The home was lively, loving and every minute was precious. I was so excited to see the beautiful surroundings in which Rebecca spent her early childhood.
There was so much to see in that home. The house, the charming children, the active mom and doctor himself, the wonderful garden. All was so fabulous and on top of it all a great dinner – it looked like Christmas without snow!!
I asked Mama Rebecca to give me the recipe of the great meal she prepared for us, she even offered me some of the ingredients to go and try in Tanzania!
I admire such a loving family; these days such families are rarely seen.

Dear Mama Mahembe,
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for your kind words. It was so lovely to meet you and we enjoyed your company very much. Rebecca had talked so much about you since her visits to Tanzania. I know Mama Mahembe's Shepherds Pie will go down well in Tanzania.
Love
Mike & Sarah Lewis
