#morocco and #Marrakesh never fail to impress.
#muslims, #jews, #christians, #themoores have all been influenced here. Even the #French were. If you can, then come.

Haven't been to #Marrakech for 40 years, it hasn't failed in my expectations.
I love being in #Arabic countries, learning of it #history, #culture and #traditions.

Well, we managed to get to beautiful #Corwen in #North #Wales. A little stop over to avoid the traffic around #creamfields.
Tomorrow a drive up through the #mountains and onto #Anglesey.

Today is our first break this year, we're off to #Anglesey for a few well earned days rest.
Meg is already excited and making it known we can't leave without her.

We've spent a long time growing our garden to be nature friendly, it has it rewards, lots of things inhabit with us, from hedgehogs, to Meg our dog and of course birds.
Here is nest 4 from this year, this time pigeons, mum named Matilda.

My evening and most of tomorrow, will probably be spent working on the plan for this #beautiful rare #monkeypuzzle cookie to turn it into a unique table.

It's now 0600, for the last 50mins, Meg has been insisting that I play with her. Life with a #bordercollie is both rewarding and at times funnily annoying, I wouldn't have it any other way.

The plan being? I'm only asking as I started 10 years ago and now in the middle of a complete overhaul, apart from the wild meadow in the front garden

I've been doing this in my garden for years. The whole of one side of my front garden, filled with pollinators from bees, butterfly's, ladybirds, dragonflies to a wide range of birds.

It's not just forests that people have been conditioned about, it's also gardens. I've spent 7 years turning parts of mine back to nature, balancing wildness with an open space for wild flowers. No pesticides.

We've had a couple of #blackbirds get stuck in the #kitchen recently.
Today we realised why, it appears they have nested about 20cms above the kitchen door. What a privilege.
