This one is mostly for the benefit of the smaller blog followers namely my niece Isabella who I thought would enjoy these pictures..... The children of the compound - Nyara and Arabiatou appeared at our door giggling excitedly one night with their heads wrapped in scarves. The scarves were removed to reveal hair all adorned with minties, bubble gum and butterscotch. It came out that it was commonwealth day the next day and it was a tradition for children to decorate their hair with either sweets or beads. I can imagine the schools the next day were very colourful. I also can imagine that the children were a nightmare as they were the following evening when they had eaten all the sweets in their hair! They did save us a minty though.
