As a keen cook this is like reading a novel, it makes we want to 'set to' in the kitchen and cook up a storming dinner.

I wish I got variety and service like that where I live!

I agree with Akin, imagine if all your suppliers and customers would write ir update you like that. Me at least would be able to focus on the more important things than running after my suppliers. All business have something to learn from this farmer.

Reading this could almost put me in persistent vegetative state.

I lived my preteen years in a suburb of Jos called Rayfield.

We lived in what would have been a "Bwana" bungalow, in fact, it had six bedrooms and we had large tranches of land on which much nomadic cattle grazed.

My father prided himself with being a handy farmer so we did have potatoes, figs, cucumbers and carrots growing in the back lands.

Besides, we were surrounded by a mango grove of 13 trees yielding mangoes of every kind of flavour from plain and bitter to sweet and succulent.

Then we were innocent, adventurous and Kingsway Stores had goods that people in the West would be hard pressed to acquire.

Does this blissful time still colour my views of Nigeria?

Your supplier is not half a raconteur but all that information just prepares you for understanding when service fails and it is healthy for developing a good customer relationship.

That, I would say in missing here in the Netherlands and in the UK - who has time to write up such beautiful stuff? They need hands on the field.
