Ilanay is obsessed by chickens. Don’t think she ever saw a
live chicken before we got here and there’s lots everywhere. Colourful ones
strutting around compounds where we go to visit friends, baby ones racing to
keep up and Ilanay running after them all with gleeful shrieks.
We’ve a lot of visiting and being visited to do! It’s helping us all to settle though. Quite emotional when I returned to visit neighbours at the first house I stayed in when I came to Sierra Leone in 2008. The area is all changed now with lots of new buildings having taken over the square common space that existed before. Kids had lovely time being centre of attention and Ilanay shone with chattiness! The girls that were barely teenagers when I first came are now all grown up and finished school. The small little ones that I adored so much are now all so much bigger and almost unrecognisable. Feel’s lovely to come back to somewhere that you’re remembered.
