It's been a while! I lost my blogging mojo for a bit, I think the fact that this blog was really supposed to be about our cottage renovations meant that when the majority of those were done I pretty much ran out of steam. That, combined with starting a new job meant that I just had less and less time for blogging and when I did have time I couldn't really think of anything to write. I'm a perfectionist (a trait I share with my Dad who trained to be a chef, amongst his many other talents and trades!) and I would often compare my writing to other people's blogs and just think - "uggh, why isn't my writing more interesting/engaging/funny?!"
Anyway, service is hopefully resuming but it will be a little bit ad-hoc. The reason for this is that I am starting a business! I know, probably not the best timing - did I mention mention that I am back studying as well? They say good things come in threes, so let's hope that's the case for me!
Back in March this year, my husband and I visited Essaouria in Morocco. We had visited Marrakech back when we were first married, and to be honest I wasn't overly keen on the thought of going back. Marrakech is beautiful, but it was so busy and the constant hassling from traders and tourist touts got quite wearing after a few days.
But Essaouria was completely different, for a start it's right by the sea so you get a cooling breeze all year round. It is much smaller and so when we visited in March it was very quiet, no jostling along the narrow and winding passages and bazaars! It has a much more laid back attitude and although there isn't a huge amount to see we were just happy to wander around and soak up the atmosphere. The old part of Essaouria is surrounded by centuries-old fortified ramparts and has a long history as a trading post with Portguese and French influences.
One of my goals while we were there was to procure a Beni Ouarain rug for our sitting room. I had seen a few photos of them in very stylish settings and in a few eyewateringly expensive shops, so I was hoping that they might be more reasonably priced in Morocco. I was very concerned about being ripped off, so I made sure that I did my research and after wandering around for a bit, we managed to find one that fitted our room and our wallets! Here's a photo of it in situ - I moved the old carpenters chest that we use for a coffee table from the middle of the carpet to take this shot.
The response I got was the encouragement I needed to set up a website which will be launching this week! This post is a bit of a whistle-stop tour of what I've been up to in the year and a bit I've been away. Thanks to those who were kind enough to say you missed my posts! I hope you will stick with me! Please do stop by to have a look at my new website and if you are on Instagram and interested to keep track of my progress with this, please follow me @berberouche
