'There was a cement wall separating the compound from the desert...

'The wall was three metres high. Purple wildflowers grew at its base, and would fall to the ground in heavy winds. During sandstorms, while the desert spluttered and sank from view, the lower part of the compound would remain protected, with only a small breeze and a scattering of flowers to show for the chaos beyond.'
