Love this photo! It shows my beautiful cousin Joy, who is normally resident in the USA. She has travelled to our Nigerian home town of Onitsha to be at the Ibu Ego Odu ceremony for Obie Nancy Egbuche.

Really enjoying catching up with the French detective series on BBC Four #Sambre:AnatomyofaCrime. Couldn’t help noticing in Episode 2 that Judge Irene Dereux, beautifully played by Pauline Parigot, is sitting on a sofa that’s identical to the one I had in the 1980s!
