MY VISIT TO SENEGAL

I have just returned from Gambia.
My camera broke down towards the end of my holiday.  I think the poor thing was over-worked!  I now have to wait until my new camera arrives by post before I can put any of my Gambian pictures on the blog.  
I managed to find some interesting dolls in Gambia which I will add here as soon as possible.

When I was there I couldn't resist going to Senegal, as it was so close!  Below are some photos taken by my friend, Chris.

My camera has finally given up.  I think the poor thing has been over-worked!  Living where I do I have to wait for it to come by post.  I will then have to practise with it before listing new dolls from my latest trip!
