At Toutla last night - Mikes son and daughter have arrived, Hilarys two sons are here. A bitter-sweet evening, following on from Hilarys death.
Apart from the great sadness of the occasion, the families have the joy of meeting up - and the job of keeping Mikes spirits up- so the conversations were fascinating. One of Hilarys sons has lived and worked with his family in Mayotte, an island currently in the news as having been hit by the latest natural catastrophe (Not so much hit as totally destroyed.) Anyway, the tribe will be here for the funeral- which looks like being on Tuesday - so we'll all meet again.
