Seeing this book market in Marrakech is quite a wonderful thing given that ....and I may be wrong here...but I think across the country that the literacy rate is 41 percent. Great strides have been made and school attendance is compulsory.

Good Old Mum
Old age isn’t really instagrammable... it’s just not pretty enough for social media it would seem....but it’s in our future...no one escapes ! So here is my mum yesterday....born in 1924. She broke her leg on Xmas Eve but you can see that not much holds her back . She and her frame are back to cruising the Melbourne coffee scene !
My favourite birds !
I am always enthralled when I see the storks nesting in the Medina in Marrakech. They co habit with the noise and mayhem quite happily it seems. I do worry that one of those nests below has been poorly constructed ( a bit of a fly by night job haha) and looks like it’s on quite a precipice . Rambunctious babies or a strong wind could see it toppling pell mell into the street chaos below. When that particular family returns next year, I daresay some renovation or even relocation will be on the cards !

Not sharing !
Buying by weight...well when it comes to very sticky chbekkia cookies then I want to buy a kilo and eat the lot
Postcard
Morocco is a postcard on steroids sort of place in every possible way for land and cityscape photographers...views to die for everywhere
Graffiti and a Rabbit
This does have a touch of Alice down the rabbit hole complete with cute rabbit and it’s not what immediately comes to mind when there is talk of Morocco.But I came and saw and am sharing the photographic evidence. It’s all about expect the totally unexpected !

Market Day
I was an onlooker here as a very warm winter jellaba was purchased at the market from a very kind and friendly sales lady...and then it took no less than three people to get it into a bag ! ( not really a case of many hands make light work...more like too many chiefs ! )
