Today’s update from the diary my seven year old self wrote during the 1977 Festival of Black arts and culture in Lagos, Nigeria.

Tuesday 1st February 1977.

We had a friend to visit in the morning. In the afternoon I went to a Brownie party at Ikoyi park we liked it. We had cakes.


I remain as easy to please to this day, piece of cake and I am happy! I was however upset to find out, when looking for a link for the park, to find out that its long since been built over and is now a housing estate. We had such fun in the park, it felt like real wilderness, and thus a paradise, to us kids. There were vines hanging that you could tarzen swing from, great climbing trees and even the odd snake to chase.... Good times *sigh*
