Week 7 ? So where did week 6 disappear to? I think an apology may be due to you and Laurie, because I missed week 6 of our linkup.

No excuses allowed! I simply ‘wimped out’ after returning from a week away in Marrakech and thinking I could catch up overnight duh!

It was not to be…flights were delayed and roads were closed which meant a very late flight and an even later arrival home…

Oh where oh where does the time go? So how was your week?

Week 7 My week last week:

The good:

I had a fabulous time in Marrakech!

Did you know Yves St Laurent and his long term partner Pierre Bergere had a holiday home there? I had no idea but after visiting their garden ‘Le Majorelle’ I can see where so much of his inspiration and style came from…look at the colours in these pics from my visit:

On the 19th of October a new Museum was opened to celebrate his life and times in Marrakech, unfortunately we were at home by this time…but I plan on visiting the Paris Museum very soon next year!

The bad:

The tiredness you get from travelling when older!

I love my sleep but early mornings, late nights, extreme heat and the hustle and bustle of a new country do not make for peaceful bedfellows?

The colours of Marrakech took my breath away!

The Ugly

Pure and simple it was the poverty.

Marrakech is a but a mere three hour flight away from my home and although I have travelled the world many times over, I never ever get used to the  poverty endured by so many people on this planet that we share…what more can I say?

Featured posts from week 6

Onto brighter news, I had a little peep at last week’s linkup and decided on these two posts to feature:

I loved The Mutton years Scarf  ( she is having a no spend october!) and I loved the Story and the sentiment behind Sharing a Journey’s post you must read it and say hi from me?

Link-up Etiquette

“We dont like rules, anything goes… play nice and be polite” 

However, because you are getting two links for the price of one, all we ask is that you leave a comment on both our blogs?  Afterall you wouldn’t go to a party and ignore the host now would you?

Love to know what you have been up to this week! so do leave me a comment?

You can read last weeks news here
