A-ga-doo doo doo!

Just after posting my entry in the Bloggers Quilt Festival, hubby suggested we go away for the weekend.  I decided it best not to mention the backlog of festival posts I would have to read on getting back, ;-) packed a few things and after picking up Zaki from pre-school we headed south to Agadir.

Agadir was devestated by an earthquake in 1960 and typical of that era the town was rebuilt with little or no personality and quite a lot of concrete.  However, living in a place with bags of personality it mattered not.  It had sun, swaying palm trees and a swimming pool and we got to spend time together as a family. We had a great time.

*my husband always looks ridiculously grumpy in photos.  Actually he's not grumpy at all but hates having his photo taken with a vengeance.

We got back yesterday and I'm slowly catching up with my blog reading - the festival is as good as ever and it's lovely discovering some new blogs and getting a little inspiration overload.

Here's a little something for those of you who need an instant holiday in their lives or are too young to appreciate the music of Black Lace *shudder* Watch and learn my friends.

    Well how lovely! And looking at that one photo, with the pool, I'd say the place has lots of personality but what do I know?? A family getaway is all that matters right?

    Oh I am so jealous! You are so lucky just being able to go of to the sunshine with a pool you can use and without a wetsuit! I hope you had a great time

    We spent one day in Agadir in March.
    We had rather low expectations but had a most comfortable hotel and an outstanding meal at a restaurant that reminded me a lot of the old Bagatelle.
    Glad you had fun!

    I know your husband's photo pain, but then I really am grumpy too!

    Glad you had such a good time, chose not to re-live the music.
