Moulay Idriss

Moulay Idriss has a lot of steps going up and up and more up. It also has a lot of cats and colours !

Travelling North no 4....Ostrich wrangling .

The Budgies of Dar Kleta

These happy birds, full of chirps and tweets , help make Dar Kleta a very special place. One budgie is pale pale mint green and I have never seen such a colour in this species. They flit around in a very big vintage wrought iron cage and sing constantly until bedtime when they are covered up by an antique coverlet made from old velvety jellaba fabric. Why not visit Dar Kleta and enjoy the birdlife and beauty !

Meeting a Local

Out hiking yesterday we met this French gentleman....he owns seven goats and a horse ! He spoke great English and told us his goats were a South African variety called the Boer goat. He also told us his farm was for sale. Some renovation might be needed as I don’t think it has a bathroom !

Road block in rural France !

We had to wait while a fair bit of slow motion waddling went on as these ducks crossed in front of us from the farmyard to the water filled roadside ditch.

Moo Woof Baa Neigh

After the abundance of spring flowers, I have been overjoyed to see the French farm animals grazing on rich pastures. Lots of farm dogs...mainly border collies...come wagging out to see our rambling group, wanting to be patted....and I of course love that !

I did not cover this cat !

Polly has a pillow on a chair on the balcony. She loves to be there and sleeps away the day in the sun. Recently high winds blew the pillow off the chair and also the little tea towel that covers it. Polly happily assumed her normal position preparing for a busy day of snoozing even though the pillow was on the ground. I went to check on her and found her covered. Now, can wind blow a tea towel into such a perfect position or has Polly become gifted....we will never know !!

Strange but true !

I just take it for granted now that I pass donkeys in the street everyday of my life !!!!

The river crossing....yikes...but we made it...and stayed dry !
