February 2008

February seems to be synonymous with a trip away for the Becks, Spences and McCartens. This year we went to Marrakech for five days. We stayed in a Riad inside the city walls, which was beautifully decorated with food to die for. The bedrooms were somewhat basic as we found when the 6 of us met in one to have an evening nightcap, but we are close friends so it wasn't a problem! One day we had a trip to the Atlas Mountains which was very enjoyable and nearly gained Sheila a new son-in-law. The rest of the time was spent wandering around the city and trying to escape from helpful men who insisted they knew a quick way to where we wanted to go (even when they didn't know where we wanted to go).
