Partay


Zaki and I are just back from a friend`s daughter`s 6th birthday party held at one of my favourite places in Marrakech - the organic Flower Power Cafe at Casa Botanica.


There was a treasure hunt amongst the pretty bunting...


...and tea in a traditional tent...


...designed especially for small people, with flower strewn wooden crates tables...


...and a 5 tier cupcake cake (with gingerbread bases and edible flowers)


When you are seated between a couple of cuties, the paparazzi are not welcome...


...but a vanilla cupcake with sprinkles most certainly is.


There was even a pinata...and everyone got a turn.


But the pinata was a tough old bird and with the temperature still 29 C (84 F) at 5.30 PM, a mid-pinata sit down was necessary for some.


...but it went eventually and there was the usual unseemly scrum...


...and that`s when small elbows and hands come in useful!


Happy Birthday Maria!

    Pinatas are so much fun! One I remember from my time in Trinidad was an animal-shape with coloured tissue paper torn into little pieces, scrunched up then glued onto the shape.

    Looks like fun, and very restrained of you not to dive into the pinata scrum ;o)
