Day Two Thousand and Fifty-Three

 Monday 9th April 2018 - My friend Lulu went home today and left this giant flamingo next to the swimming pool. I was tempted to try it out but then I remembered how cold the pool was!

 We drove to a very small town called Diabat but there wasn't much there 

 So instead we had a picnic but at the villa with our new baskets and teddies 

 We walked into the medina as the sun was setting

 I got tired so Daddy carried me on his shoulders 

Before dinner we posted postcards to our Grandma and Granddads. I wonder how long they'll take to arrive

Day Two Thousand and Fifty-Two

Sunday 8th April 2018 - This morning Ira and I went shopping with our new bags. We chose fruit and snacks and jellies 

And then we went to explore a beach up the coast. We had a walk and collected rocks. But it was so windy that we wanted to head back soon after 

We loved our afternoons playing in the villa with our new friend Lulu - who was there with her Mummy, Daddy and sister 

We went into essaouria medina for dinner and then watched the sunset from a rooftop bar 

What a great holiday we're having 

Before bed, we had stories and chocolate milk in the orange room, in front of a fire 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty-One

 Saturday 7th April 2018 - Today started with our usual (and giant) breakfast of bread, pastries, pancakes, cake and orange juice

 Then we went to the beach opposite to go on a camel ride. I loved it! 

 Ira's camel was called Sultan and mine was called Cappuccino 

In the evening we went into the medina to look at the shops and have some dinner.,

Ira insisted we needed these little shopping bags! 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty

 Friday 6th April 2018 - Today we went on an adventure in the car. Daddy drove us all the way along the coast to a place called Safi, which was a small town by the sea. It was a long journey but we didn't mind because we played games an watched things on the iPad 

 When we arrived, we had a chicken tagine in a beautiful court yard

 Then we drove a bit further along the coast to a place called Ouladia, where there were supposed to be Flamingos..

There weren't any flamingos, but there was a lovely beach to run along. And ice cream too 

Day Two Thousand and Forty-Nine

  Thursday 5th April 2018 - Today we got ready and waited outside the villa for a bus to take us to Villa Maroc Les Jardins

 Where we spent the day swimming in a beautiful (and warm) swimming pool 

 Had lunch and played in the gardens. Ira and I played chipmunks and collected flowers 

 We walked into the medina as the sun set 

And had fish for tea in the fishermen's stalls 

Day Two Thousand and Forty-Eight

Wednesday 4th April 2018 - Today we got up, had a big breakfast in our villa and then walked along by the sea all the way to the port, which was full of fishermen and seagulls flying in the sky

 We went up on the ramparts and there was a beautiful view across to the medina 

 We walked around the medina and Daddy picked up the car. Then we all found a Moroccan restaurant and had a tagine and some cous cous 

Day Two Thousand and Forty-Seven

 Tuesday 3rd April 2018 - Today we got up in the middle of the night and Daddy drove us to the airport in the dark so we could get on a plane all the way to Morocco

 We arrived in Essaouira and went straight to our beautiful villa - Villa Quieta, where we were greeted with mint tea and biscuits

 The garden was just beautiful and the sun was shining too

This was the view from the roof terrace

 And this was the door to our room, where Ira and I had beds on a mezzanine level

There was a lounge upstairs where we made a den and ate apples (we called in the apple room)

And there was a beautiful sunset. 

I think I'm going to like it here 

Day Two Thousand and Forty-Six

Happy Easter everyone!

Day Two Thousand and Forty-Three

 Friday 30th March 2018 - Ellis and Phil came to see us and we went for lunch in the Owl pub. It was too wet to play outside so we played games inside in the warm

It was lots of fun and really good to see them both 

We went home for an Easter egg hunt and some Easter treats

Day Two Thousand and Forty-Two

 Thursday 29th March 2018 - Ira was at preschool this morning but I didn't have to go to school so Mummy asked where I wanted to go and I said I wanted to go to my favourite cafe for a drink. So that's where we went.

 And then back to Ira's preschool (and my old preschool) to help with their bake sale. 

I saw Lisa and Terri and Vicky and Janet and they were so excited to see me. They gave me a cuddle and asked how school was going. I loved seeing them again

And the cakes were delicious too 

Day Two Thousand and Forty-One

Wednesday 28th March 2018 - Today was my school Easter bonnet parade. I spent breakfast time putting on the finishing touches - jewels and glittery stars on the peacock and some sparkly spray on the feathers 

I was pretty pleased 

We had an Easter bonnet parade in the school hall...

Daddy and Ira came to watch

Everyone loved my peacock hat and Miss Biggar the head teacher said it was an "inspiration"! 

I won the prize for the best bonnet - a big chocolate Easter egg :) 

Day Two Thousand and Forty

 Tuesday 17th March 2018 - When I scoot home from school with Grandma and Granddad on a Tuesday, I never know what exciting things will be waiting for me at home

Today it was making play doh burgers!
