Twin Town


One of the reasons our recent stay in Fez was less than relaxing at times (apart from running around buying taps, bidets and acres of fabric) was our 1 year old twin girls, Lola and Rosa.

After two visits of the family en mass, we have discovered that there there are two more sets of twins living locally and another belonging to our friend Koko (or Driss).

Mustapha and Said are the two guys who have a leather workshop next to our house where they make hand made shoes. They have been a great help when we've been there keeping an eye on our son Frankie during his many football sessions in the street, as well as paying our water and electricity bills while we're away.

Further up the street are two young girls around 3 years old who's names I can't remember, but who frequently visited the house with the other dozen or so kids from the area.

Koko's twin daughters, Zeenab and Kenza helped out with us at the house and couldn't get enough of Lola and Rosa along with their younger sister Habla. The image above is an excellent shot taken by Jo of the 4 of them on the doorstep along with the neighbour's cat which got in a few scrapes while we were there. Click on the image to view bigger.

Lovely picture! I so love twins!
By the way, are you sure Habla is a name? It means "crazy" (f) in Egyptian!

Thanks for the comment, I'm not sure if it's spelled that way, maybe it's Abla. Any suggestions anyone!
