Afternoon Thunderstorm: Christmas Day and Cream Soda

afternoon thunderstorm: A new pair for all of us, according to The Independent. Then came the new clothes proudly presented by my parents the fruit of long hours of labour.

As the years went by and independence came to Zimbabwe, many things changed. The long sunny hours of Christmas Day, usually with a brief but refreshing afternoon thunderstorm, were spent at huge family gatherings, feasting on chicken and rice, washed down with an array of brightly-coloured soft drinks cherry plum, cream soda and Fanta orange.
