I have really been neglecting this blog of mine over the last few weeks. It just seems a combination of sick children; cold weather and life in general have been getting in the way of all my good intentions of cooking and blogging! Enough excuses though…..

One of my favourite places here in Rabat is the Rabat Medina. It is a wonderful place to have a stroll about, looking at little odds and ends without the hassle that you get in some of the larger medinas in Morocco. There is one little courtyard that has a trader I have come to [...]

Saturday was a strange day, not starting quite as we had planned but turned into one of those days that will be etched into our memories forever!

Hi there everyone! The kids are loving school and other than the humidity and the crazy traffic at the moment (a story for another day) things are going well. It is quite a thing getting used to the sights and sounds of city life when you are not used to it! We have a nice [...]
