Call that a mushroom....
... now this is a mushroom.
The small dog weighs about 3.3kgs. The mushroom weighs 0.8kgs. As is often thecase with food, bigger isn't always better - it tasted a tad bitter so about half of it wasn't eaten.
It should be explained that the object the small dog is sitting on is a raffia mat made for us by the mother of a birding friend in Tanzania. It includes the names of a number of interesting bird species woven into the fabric. An astonishing piece of work.
Also the reference to 'Mrs Martin" reflects a small confusion about naming conventions: in TZ many people put the family name first so I was 'Mr Martin". Thus Frances was "Mrs Martin" (when not simply 'mama').
