Jungle

It´s been very warm and mild here, haven´t even thought about needing to light the log burner, probably jinxed it now. Managed to get out into the jungle for a while each day, so it´s gradually getting clear again. We will have to wait until there has been substantial rainfall before the town hall will issue a burning license.

The Moroccan holiday wasn´t quite what was expected, mainly French spoken, they were on the second floor without a lift, which made it quite hard with Theo. Rebecca had a couple of massages which she enjoyed and although the water was quite cold the various pools were tried and enjoyed. They did a couple of excursions which they enjoyed, one to a crocodile park and another to a little place that produced Argan oil. They had a go at  grinding, all done by hand and hard work. No wonder the oil is so expensive, but the moisturizer had a wonderful texture and absorbed very quickly. They brought us back a little gift which was so thoughtful, a hand painted scene, painted on stretched goat skin and a couple of pretty coasters.

  

They had a trip to the local market but found it to be too pushy and expensive, they purchased some spices but realised they were being ripped off when the stall holder tried to charge them 70e for not very much, and got cross when they refused the amounts he was pushing and settled for a much smaller amount. Took the fun out of it. They did enjoy all the different tagines though.

First week of November nearly gone so I must crack on with the advent calendar I want to make for Theo, little drawstring bags to pop in a little gift, they can be used over the years then. Although it´s quite hard thinking of  so many items that will fit.

Right, out into the wilderness again

take care
