Travel – Marrakesh 2025
We took advantage of some really good, late booking, holiday package prices to take another trip out to Marrakesh last week. For us, November is a great time to visit Morocco. The temperature is a really nice 21C during the day. We needed a jacket in the early morning and evenings but we had clear blue skies most days with a bit of cloud bubbling up in the late afternoon.

My digital photography story started back in 2007 when I completed a short Open University course called ‘Welcome to Digital Photography’. Over ten weeks the course covered the photography basics but also introduced me to Flickr.

It’s Sofia’s turn to host this weeks Challenge, and her theme is ‘Ancient‘. Ironically we were on holiday in Rhodes, on Saturday, when the challenge was set and I can’t think of too many other places more associated with ‘Ancient’ than Greece.
