Hidden Laughter

Work loves to throw a party for local people so whether it's St George's Day, Christmas, Eid or Black History Month, we'll celebrate it.!

Today it was Eid (Eid al-Adha was at the end of October) and the usual assorted games and activities for kids, stalls, mehndi (henna) painting, face painters and the like...

This lady (the same woman as snapped in my other album) was sharing a joke with a friend and as is the way with a lot of people, she hid her smile with her recently decorated hand...

@palusami Hiya... Not over here... But most of my colleagues, so guessing most Bangladeshi's, send money home to family to buy a cow (or camel I hear) to sacrifice... Tho the helal shops do a roaring trade doing both Eids....
