Mosi Moment
Mzuzu and Titus
August 2007
Let me introduce you to the boys - Zu (named after Mzuzu in Malawi) is five and Titus is three and three quarters.
It was their first trip to Africa and for months Titus asked each morning, “are we going to Africa today?” (at three he does not have much concept of time).
Sometime between 2003 and 2007
In March 2003 Jo described the christening of her "adorable nephew" Mzuzu.
Details are repeated here, with updates in May and December.

On
a more personal front - Mzuzu, my adorable nephew, has a baby brother - the adorable Titus. Nearly 8 weeks old. Of course
I continue to be the besotted aunt. Robin and I spent a week with the family in November which was designed to give Frank
and Martha a break. They call me Cinders as I shop, cook, clean, entertain, change nappies, burb the baby, etc. Quite ironic
as I really do NOTHING domestic here! It makes quite a change.

The
trip (to the UK) was a family one - with my adorable nephew Mzuzu being christened on the first weekend. We drove to Wales
where my family have had a couple of fields and a small A-frame house since the early 60's. Sleeping dormitory style, with
a 9 month
year
baby included, was certainly risky! However, Mzu behaved wonderfully. He woke up at 6 each morning and was given to Robin
and myself (early risers) to feed and keep quiet as everyone else carried on trying to sleep. Tricky keeping a wide awake
crawling baby quiet for a couple of hours! They tend to want to bang everything to make a noise. The godparents and family
gathered and the ceremony was wonderful. A small 16th century chapel under some cliffs, beside a river in the well known
four-house-village Llan-badarn-y-garreg! With daffodils and candles throughout the chapel we had a very intimate service
and as Mzuzu was "dunked" there was an almighty clap of thunder right over the chapel. As the preacher said, clearly
a special child.
