So we are of course going to be frantic at the studio in the running up to Christmas, preparing all garments in all sizes etc. for the shop. I will be going back and forth to Bamako like a yo-yo, as I have done for the last few weeks. The water is now receding rapidly, as you can see by this picture, taken in the same position as last time by the Bani crossing. Last time a canoe paddled past. By necessity I am getting used to the hardships of the road and the Djenne bus. It takes 12 hours between Djenne and Bamako.
