Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
In a riad in Marrakech in 2008 and again in 2010.
One of the traditional welcomes, steaming fresh mint tea in a cool room opening onto the inner courtyard. A delight to sit there after the noise and mayhem of the souk and Jmaa elfna, I definitely felt in the pink.
Houdou means serene in Arabic and Riad Houdou was exactly that.
Day 26 of Becky’s September challenge and you can still join in.
It seems I amused Becky yesterday with my Pinktember name 🙂
I couldn’t resist another mask from Widsith and Deor today, she’s bit more cheerful than the last one I posted, perhaps she’s feeling a bit more in the pink. I wish I was, but today is my first day back to work and I’m dreading the number of emails I’ll have to deal with!
Becky has some Portuguese pink flowers today. Happy Monday everyone 🙂
Actually I’ve missed a couple so it’s probably my 20th!
My square is from autumn two years ago, taken at Stourhead. Over at Becky’s there’s a pink dappled nose that possibly belongs to a Friesian.
I’m off to Hampshire today to see my littlest g-babies, but this photo is from a while back.
How cute can pink September be? Well Becky’s square made me smile this morning!
Spent the day here last Saturday.
My friend Sue had her 60th birthday recently, so today we had a day out, as we always do for our birthdays. The birthday girl gets to choose the destination, and she wanted to go to Dartington for coffee and cake and then off to Totnes. Considering we’re at the end of summer the garden was looking gorgeous, but more about that when my life returns to it’s lower level of chaos.
So my pink square is the bract of yet another plant the name of which has dropped off the bottom of my memory!
Becky’s in a museum in Portugal, her photo is a bit like the origami I’ve been dabbling with for a could of days.
While Becky has a very elegant square today, mine is perhaps a little intriguing?
I don’t know what’s going on there, but with hindsight I feel a bit intrusive. I know I took it in Florence, but can’t remember anything else!
especially pink ones!
