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 25th January 1977.
We went to the regatta it was good. We saw decorated boats, warriors with guns. One man on stilts he came right up behind me. I went to brownies.
I am amazed I was so matter of fact about going to Brownies as it was the highlight of my week. I was desperate to join Brownies when we went to Nigeria but I was only six and had to wait (very impatiently it has to be said!) till my seventh birthday when I was finally able to join. I was in firefly six of the 4th Ikoyi pack and very proud I was of it to!

We went to the museum. We had a very nice time. I bought a fluffy ring and mummy bought a leather foot cushion. We bought a coke and drank it in a grass hut. We heard the drums at the Embassy of Chad.
