shopping

Shopping for the shop-A good old rummage on a brisk cold day,you can`t beat it.

Oh, you would get some looks driving along in your camper with these on the side!!

We had a big bouncy pram for our wee ones, they snoozed away in the garden on a sunny day .

This would scare you on a dark night!

Marrakech

A magical place full of images to capture around every corner with so much colour,a joy after grey winter skies.
The sun warming your skin ,so welcome.

Berber`s kitchen

The foothills of the Atlas mountains.

Streets like labyrinths and wooden doorways

Feasts from stalls to lantern lit restaurants with belly dancers and musicians.

Planning our next trip-lots more to explore for buisness and pleasure.

This weekends flowers-Purple Anemones, Delft blue Hyacinths,Viburnum Opulus and Rose `heaven` (fragrant!) Happy Weekend - xx

Springs on its way...

Winter Aconites-I'm not a fan of yellow ,but these look cheerful on a cold and frosty morning when there has been no colour in the garden for months.

Snowdrops poking through .

I'm looking forward to exotic climate and colours when i go away but looking forward to Spring here . I love the colours and the promise of things to come . The birds are singing away . So cheerful.

Excited...

Well, I never.....
