A FAMILY AFFAIR


Yusuf and Gafifa spent mid-week with me early in November and returned at the end of that month, bringing their daughter, Fozia with them leaving Saadia to cope with all the animals back home on her own (Gafifa is the dog walker).
This wonderful family foisted on me (and I am so foistible) all manner of fattening but delectable things: like Yusuf’s home made chocolate biscuits. Yummy! “He’s retired now, so he must also get domesticated,” says Gafifa – and quite rightly so, I say, but with those talents I’d be inclined to want to hire him out.
They also shared with me their personal lives – likes, dislikes, wishes and desires – and I feel privileged to be a part of their story telling.
