If, like me, you love a luxury boutique hotel, then reading that The Pig on the Beach was voted best hotel in the UK in The Times will have left an impression. The kind of impression that stays with you until you can come up with a good enough excuse to visit. And that’s exactly what happened to me. I took the opportunity to buy Mr B some vouchers for The Pig to celebrate his birthday at the end of May, and off we excitedly went.

Happy Sunday lovely people.

After our exciting stay in Kasbah Tamadot in the Atlas Mountains (where I became a wife-to-be) we headed back down to lower ground to our originally planned destination, the medina.
It is an old fortified city, jam packed with people, donkeys, stalls, tourists, motorbikes, dirt tracks and terracotta walls. They call it the red city.

Kasbah Tamadot, Marrakech
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen I was recently in Marrakech. It is a trip I have wanted to do for a really, really long time and Mr B and I decided this year was the year of holidays (I know, great huh!) - so this vibrant place was top of my list.
