Yep, it's time for our hols and we're not going on the Marrakesh Express, but with rotten-ryan-air. We're off for a week and lovely Jamie & Tara are coming to look after the house and menagerie.

I'm taking my darling Mac laptop (who's called Scipio) so I can check mail - this is the time when lots of bookings come rolling in. But that won't stop us having a good time. I'm looking forward to taking hundreds of colourful photos, sleeping longer than Kit-the-labrador usually allows and catching a glimpse of the Atlas mountains. It'd also be good if I could find a jelabah in one of the souks suitable for throwing on after a dip in the pool.

I'm sure we'll update the blog in the next few days so do come back in a couple of days.
