Bamako and Back

Have just spent three fabulous days in Bamako  in the lap of luxury with Eva Emneus, the charming new Swedish Ambassador in her lovely residence, drinking lots of wine in glasses like this,  talking lots and watching funny Swedish movies- but also doing plenty  of work : brought a large proportion of the new MaliMali collection which was photographed and entered on the website www.malimali.org – much more to add though !

Also had time go to a Music festival in Bamako sponsored by the Danish Embassy . Now back in Djenné again with Keita who joined me on the Bani bus as it passed Segou.

And finally and importantly : I am happy to announce that the calligraphy competition has received sponsorship: This time fromBrazil ! More about this later….
