In a way.Morocco is more advanced than the more developed countries when it comes to plastic.
Good for them- they could teach the rest of the world a thing or two about recycling.
But it's really just that we can't afford to throw anything away that could possibly be of use to someone or saleable.
It also means people steal manhole covers and fences to sell and anything else that isn't nailed down in triplicate.
And then they do not put litter in bins as the streets are swept every night, so lots of stuff ends up in the drains, sewers and rivers. People leave their picnic rubbish including babies nappies at the site of their picnic. A lot of it is quite sickening.
The villages and hard shoulders along every road for thousands of kilometres anywhere across the country are chocked with rubbish.
Lovely!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure somebody else will already have mentioned it, but there is definitely the reflection of A UFO in the water in one of those shots.
Or is the UFO in the water?
Those look really super.The new play pen for Pickles and Crusher ( those are my torts
I took my son, his friend & my sister in law to Venice Beach Ca. I’m not sure if you guys have heard of it but it’s a tourist attraction for sure!! It’s actually really dirty there but it makes for good people watching.
Then, about 2 miles away from there, is the Santa Monica Pier.
We did a lot of walking and rode the Ferris wheel. My son doesn’t like roller coasters at all so no other rides.
We got the best pic from the Ferris wheel.

Another lovely location and great postcards!Good morning all. We had a lovely day together yesterday and the weather was a little cooler than it has been, thank goodness. Sleeping was far more comfortable last night.
This is our hut

There’s a bedroom on the top floor, a bedroom and shower room on the middle floor where the balcony is and a small kitchen/sitting room and a toilet on the ground floor.
The ceilings are a little low for anyone over 6ft

We even got treated to fireworks that we could see over the bay
Thanks, Linda.

Not quite caught up, but I'm too tired to finish.

This is a question for our UK contingent: which you say is the best month to visit the UK- mainly England/Wales? [emoji636]
July and August are our best months weather wise, usually! But they are also the school holidays so quite busy.
Wales you can never guarantee the weather, even in July and August it can rain, a lot. ( it rains a lot)
September can be nice, even October and it’s much less busy.
If I had to pick a month, I would say September, once all of the children are back at school [emoji4]
Interesting! Before asking on here, I had assumed May was the best month because I seem to have read how wonderful May in England is. But you would surely know!!!
When are the different events that bring the Royals out where they might be seen- whether on the balcony at the palace or elsewhere?
I will confess that I'm pretty silly about wanting to see a British Royal in real life, although most likely from a great distance!
Especially now that our Meghan has joined the Royal ranks!

May can be a nice spring month, but I’m sure this year we had snow in May. We had a really awful start to the year weather wise.
Well I love all of the ceremonial things we have in this country and I’m lucky that my line of work allows me to be involved in it.
Beating the retreat -June 2019
Trooping the Colour June 2019
State opening of Parliament-May 2019
Changing of the Guard happens almost daily
I think beating the retreat and trooping the colour are good ones to watch.
June is the month for all pomp and pageantry!
Flights?
Only for the afternoon tea [emoji849] Associted costs are the traveller’s responsibility [emoji1]
That is a bit like saying “How long is a piece of string?”
We cannot predict our weather accurately from one week to the next - it really is that changeable - so, it really depend on what you want.
The weather is most reliable between mid May and August, but snow has occurred in June (years-ago) and a good start to may and/or a beautiful September are not unheard of.
Busier/ more expensive times are
Public holidays are on Mondays - 1st Mon in May, last Mon in May and last Mon in August.
School holidays:
The week starting the first Mon in August
Last couple of weeks in July and the whole of August.
We like going away 2nd or 3rd week in May to avoid the public and school holidays ... or in June
Phew! Caught up
And so has Adam nearly, so hopefully the morning catchup will take a little less time soon
My Moderator forum has a :grouphug: emoticon for a group hug. It’s a shame TFO doesn’t have this too; we’d use it a lot!
Have a good day all. I must go catch up with the laundry (it keeps running off [emoji23]) Not see you later

....and we have Jones the Post....
And we have the Legendary Mail(wo)man on the Bike. Legendary because very few people can claim to have seen him/her, although we do occasionally—very occasionally—get the post. But the few survivors from the old generation say the Legendary Mail(wo)man on the Bike used to come every day in the (g)olden days, before the Swedish PostNord annexed PostDanmark...
