Morocco Madness


My Mum and Brother's birthdays fall the day after each other and this year was a notable birthday for my Mum (it's not my place to say which but the photo above isn't for my brother!!) so she planned to celebrate in style. The Burton family headed to Morocco for a very long weekend (6 days!) - the first family holiday since I was a teenager. Amazing mountains with peaceful plains, a bustling city with markets and a spectacular array of colours. Here's a few pictures from the week...

I tried to persuade my Mum to go for a birthday ride but she was having none of it!

Relaxing by the pool...

There are very few dogs in Morocco but lots of cats - this is a kitten in a Berber House we visited on a tour up the Ourika Valley.

My Brother and Sister overdoing it...

Happy Birthday again Mum (and Bruv) and thanks for a wonderful week.
