Rain, Rain, Rain

Why is it that when it is raining so much, all the laundry you do always has a 'don't tumble dry' label? Who likes laundry festering around the house - oh for a drying room. One flat we had in Germany had a fantastic cellar drying room where all the flats heating and water pipes dried laundry in seconds. Why don't English houses get built with cellars? It would be so handy!!

Having grumbled about the rain I must say that yesterday was beautifully sunny - I set of early from Wilts to Derby to visit my son (and to meet the new girlfriend - who is an absolute delight!) - the sun shone all the way and all day whilst I was there - we had a really lovely time, sitting in the market place in the sun watching people go by, we went to see Shrek The Third (so funny - you must all see it!) and had a lovely meal out - I was even taken to a 'bar/club' called Walkabout to see what these youngsters get up to - it was great!! There was a band playing a lovely mix of music and many 'oldies' (47) like myself- I did not feel out of place at all. Driving home today the heavens opened again.

When I arrived home this is what I found on my door step - I think it is dead as it did not move and I think it is moth, but isn't it beautiful? Then inside on the mat was this postcard from Helen in response to my washer challenge - it is just beautiful and such a clever idea! Well done Helen!
I've caught up on my blog reading and see many of you are in studio tidying mode so I think I best get on with mine - maybe if it is tidy and I have space again I might get creative????? Where have you heard that excuse before??

Below are a couple of my pics from Marrakech - Em and I both had henna tattoos - the lady got carried away and I ended up with the backs of both hands and one palm covered - Em had both ankles. Then there is my Coca Cola Can - isn't that lovely - considering I love cans (I did bring this one and a Sprite one home in the suitcase)! and just one of The Koutoubia.

Hi Anna-I don't think my mail is getting through to you still--I resent the photo to you yesterday
and you obviously haven't received it-so I will post it on my blog tomorrow and you can see it then.
