LONDON Snow !!!

I took this photo out the window on Thursday morning.
The snow was fantastic and didn't stop falling until about midday!!

LONDON Nat and Nat's pub

Look what we found when we were out walking in Wimbledon!

ITALY Lake Como & Bellagio

In Como.

Approaching Bellagio across the Lake.

Bellagio. Very pretty... but you can see how quiet it is in the Winter.

Climbing the stairs to our hotel. All of the streets in Bellagio were pretty much like this one!

Looking out at the lake on a frosty morning!

LONDON Birthday

It would seem that I only took one picture on my birthday last year...
...and I'm not in it!!!
But it's a nice one of Sal, Nick, Renae and John.



LONDON A night at the Proms!

Nerys and I had a very English day and went to the Proms in the park.
It was excellent fun and we got to see Lional Ritchie!! (not English, but still...)



Us early in the evening...
... and then after a few wines! (singing along to Rule Brittania)

The grand finale!

LONDON Halloween

Halloween at Sascha and Joel's!

We were paying our respects... (love Steve!)
There was a whole graveyard in the backyard!

Good punch!

Renae, too distracted by the punch to notice she is about to be stabbed in the neck! :-)

MOROCCO Atlas Mountains

We took a day trip to the Ourika Valley and the Atlas Mountains...


Rather desolate looking football field!

We hired a guide to take us hiking in the mountains. It was MUCH harder work than we bargained on...

... but this waterfall (which was very high up) was a satisfying reward!

MOROCCO Gardens

It would seem that I am starting to turn into my mother's daugther...
The gardens in Marrakech WERE beautiful!


Roses. There were roses everywhere!

Jardin Majorelle. Once owned by Yves Saint Laurent!
Mostly cactuses and palms, but lovely.
