I was born in South Africa, but I married a Frenchman from Aix-en-Provence. We moved to Mauritius recently because he was transferred here by his bank. I have two small daughters. We are very happy on this island, a dot in the Indian Ocean. The people speak a creole tongue and French, also some English. The weather is mostly great except in hurricane season. I am now a stay-home wife and after lurking on Zaar for a long time I decided to come out of my rabbit hole and introduce myself!
I have no recipes on Zaar yet but hope to post some soon.
I don't have great passions because my family keeps me busy, but I love photography. I also read a lot and fortunately my relatives in S A send me books and magazines. English reading matter are not so easily available here.
