Life on Eden street is never without colour…

Warm greetings from Zinder!
Being a person who always want to have things in hand, I love the idea of stepping outside the house in order to harvest ‘food for the day’. With little else going on at this time a year, green leaves are without a doubt the vegetables of the season. The culinary world as an expat […]
Two Sundays ago, we drove 20 km east to a little town called Mirriah.
It is one of those amazing places with an impressive Baobab forest that is several centuries old.
As we were getting out of the car, heavy clouds were approaching, letting us know that rain was on its way!
My sister: “Look at that! It […]
An expat friend wanted to see the Zinder race track, and so I offered to bring him there on horse. As Arwen is heavily pregnant and Sahara was still limping slightly, Ali brought over Maya and Freya from Gill’s concession and the four of us headed out on a very pleasant excursion.
The track was vast […]

Ah, do I see remnants of the migraine, perhaps? Lol!
The girl’s name […]
Weekends for me mean an obligatory horse back ride in to the Nigerien bush!
Last week, my sister and I had one of our greatest rides ever, and how fortunate then that I decided to bring the camera!
Riding out of Zinder only takes a moment (10 minutes)
Having crossed the main road, most of the buildings between […]
Last Saturday, my sister, my sister-in-law and I decided it was time to check out the fabrics at the Zinder market. Tabita wanted to come along, making it her first visit ever to the marketplace of Zinder, something she was pretty keen on!
The weather was beautiful that morning as it had rained all night. Rainy […]
Past Tuesday, after coming home from a full day at the field station, my sister suggested we treat ourselves with some good food and a cosy evening in front of the TV. I asked her want she had in mind (foodwise), and she said: “Oh, can’t you make one of those nice pasta dishes that […]
