Lady in Rukungiri market

Having visited the building project in the morning, we took a walk around the town of Rukungiri this afternoon to orientate ourselves. As usual, I spent a lot of time greeting people and noticing details, but didn't take much note of the route we walked so am confident I would get lost if I went on a solo walk from here.
This lady was in the market, which was crammed full of delicious fruit and vegetables, dried tilapia fish and some rather gruesome looking cuts of meat attended by a bunch of lads, we nicknamed the "butcher boys". She is making a basket for millet, complete with lid, using plant fibres bound together with rafia and the finished articles looked great.
Rukungiri is also a great trading centre for matoke - green savoury bananas and many people load their bicylcles with three huge "hands" of matoke and push it into town to sell.
