Sitting by the side of the fire

Our towns and villages have some talents within the society. There is special skill known for a particular place. Talk about weavers, carvers, potters, carpenters and others. Basket weaving towns are all over.

Talk about food, tasty food from home, which usually is health too. This keeps our elders strong and healthy for example Kontomire Abomu ne Apem ampesie, along side Koobi.


All these being cooked from the fire from the firewood leaves old memories in our minds. The pot contains hot herbal medicine that fight against diseases. usually taken early morning and very hot.

Sitting by the fire was always a memorable one. Stories told and music sung. The tune of the drums was always heard. The sound that always put you ahead on the dancing floor. The flow of the dance matches the tune accurately.
