Crochet

Another Syrian day. We spent the afternoon and evening with the extended family of our very good friends. I fell madly in love with my friend's elderly mother. She's such a character and made me laugh so much. She's a master at crochet and I sat mesmerised watching her hands fly.

We talked so much about life in Syria before and during the war and they wanted to tell me all about how they managed to escape. Sometimes I have to hold back from all my questions but today they thanked me for giving them the chance to talk, it seemed really important to them to relive their terrible experiences.
