End of June Paul, Jacinta and Lilly hopped over from their Scottish house to the Netherlands because their daughter & sister Rachel graduated from the Eindhoven Design Academy. Actually we want to meet in their Maputo or our Morwa house, but somehow Rachel keeps luring all of us to Holland (pictures, check page 4 also). Maybe we'll make it to Maputo in December, or they'll manage to come to Botswana next February, when the third guy of the triplets (Peter, Paul, Bram) plans to visit us.
That same weekend Marjan commemorated her 60th Birthday, so all of us went to Rotterdam to party. It's a pity we hadn't started 'what we eat' yet. Everyone was asked to contribute a dish, and the variety of nationalities among the guests was reflected in the food. And in the languages; Paul was happy he bumped into some fellow Irishmen, and Maud could speak Afrikaans.
Another contribution asked for was a performance, so Kofi excelled once again on his djembé drums. His red red (bean stew with fish and fried banana) by the way is excellent also. As is the superb Bengalese food Marjan's husband Rubel cooks. Maud will long for you when she's surrounded again by men who think cooking equals loitering around the barbie with a drink in your hand.
