Day 31: The Beauty of Nature

We've woken up this morning to the most fabulous view of snow on the mountains - they appear so sharp and crisp, we almost feel we can reach out and touch them. How could one ever tire of this view, each day more and more stunning?

Gertie Gecko has put in an appearance today. We can often hear her and her mates (many!) as they live in the eaves of the house and are often to be heard scrambling around both day and night, both inside and outside the house. At first we feared it was some other creature - but fortunately I'm quite fond of Geckos, especially as they eat insects! So Gertie is welcome - so long as she doesn't come down from the ceiling whilst I'm sleeping!

Said has kindly brought us a lamb and prune tajine with Moroccan bread for tonight's dinner, all made by his mother. This is obviously as a result of the abundance of lamb after yesterday's ceremonial slaughtering. Looking forward to it - at least we know the lamb is fresh.

Wow, this evening is presenting us with the most amazing sunset. The sky is lit up with hues of yellows, oranges and reds interspersed with turquoise, purples and blues, all seemingly stacked up in strata. It is amazing. We started the day with the crisp, sharp mountain views and we end the day with this stunning display of colour. Once again we count our blessings.


Fabulous sunset
