In the minority and remote Kalash region of Pakistan, we met this 80 year old woman who prefers to live in her 350 year old traditional house than with her children in more comfortable accommodation. This is her full total of furniture..a bed, two stools and a stone fireplace/ stove. She has no electricity or running water. Winters here are severe and cold. It is in the mountains right on the Afghan border. The village is still very traditional. On their tour of Pakistan, Prince William and Princess Catherine were helicoptered in to visit the area and open a new community centre. There are only about 4000 remaining Kalash, and they are under pressure to convert to Islam from their animist beliefs. Have a lovely weekend all.

Cheerful yellow for an end of week smile. Have a wild and woolly weekend and a super interesting and safe new week! Lots of good wishes xxxxx
