I now possess 3 "tents", which are incredibly comfortable and just perfect for the scorching temperatures here, as they simply float around my baby-bump and give lots of freedom for climbing in and out of the car, playing with the children, getting on with jobs at home... etc. Horray for my Tanzanian tent-wear!
My new tent, which I spotted in the market last week and my favourite one so far:
This bright and cheerful number was the gift given to me when I acted a "Guest of Honour" at the Nursery School graduation event a few weeks ago- hard to be inconspicuous while wearing it, but my Tanzanian friends love it!
A local lady made this last one for me out of some material I found at the market- it is very comfortable and I was impressed by how quickly Frida transformed a piece of cloth into a dress for me- I seriously lack skill in the sewing department, but many ladies out here are amazing with their dress-making expertise.
Hooray for the tent! You look great in all of them. I guess you're bump is getting quite big now, tho' its hard to tell from the pictures. Take care, Jx
ReplyDeleteJust noticed Ben has had his haircut - so has Daniel. I keep getting a shock when I turn round and see him! Jx
ReplyDeleteCan't help being amused at the expression on Ben's face, does he disapprove of "the Tent"?
ReplyDeleteIn comparison Esther looks very much in favour.Dare I comment in this age of equality and ask," is apprecation of the tent just a question of being male or female?" The blue colour of tent number one really suits you,all the colours are lovely and I particularly like the design of the green tent especailly the bottom half.Well done Frida.
