My upcoming trip to Dakhla, Western Sahara in October has me excited to visit my Barb Arab Stallion, Itri living at the stables, Le Ranch Des Dunes.

The stables are owned by Sarah Malet and her husband Bidcha Med, a well-known horse stuntman in Hollywood film productions in Quarzazate, South Morocco.

They provide a variety of horse riding experiences, including day rides, sunset rides on the beach & lagoon and longer treks.

They are highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique adventure.

I can honestly say am looking forward to exploring, horse riding and the solitude of Dakhla.

You definitely will find peace and tranquility amidst the vast Sahara desert dunes as you ride your camel on a journey with the Ladies Midlife Travellers Club .

The approaching golden glow of a Sahara sunset will fill you with awe.
As you watch the dunes bleached white with the ascent of the moon and light of the stars, you will ride your camels back through the silent dunes.

Jharkot Village at 3519m in the region of Mustang, Western Nepal is one of my favourite villages to visit.

While on the Annapurna treking circuit, many trekkers pass through or stay in the village tea houses with its spectacular views over Annapurna I, Annapurna II, and Dhaulagiri.

The 700 year old Jharkot Gompa ( Monastery), holds particular importance with its Tibetan Buddhist ceremonial traditions, relics and incredible artwork. Unfortunately it is beginning to show need for major restoration.

Jharkot with its spectacular Mountain scenery cultural richness, simple tea houses with their warm hospitality. The interesting cultural aspect of the Thakali inhabitants and religious significance of the Jharkot Gompa make the village of Jharkot a captivating destination for all.

What is your passion you love finding when travelling?

One of mine is handloomed textiles and what a journey that has been. I have met some fascinating creative artists in Nepal, Morocco, India, Fiji and Sri Lanka.

Have purchased some extraordinary pashminas, scarves, table clothes, runners and cushion covers for my online shop Intricate weave.

Materials used are Himalayan Nettle, Silk from silk worms & agave cactus, wool, cotton, Dhaka cloth, bobbin lace to name a few.
In August am exploring Sumba Island, Indonesia and am excited about the handloomed textiles and the horse culture of this Island.

Sadly we have decided to put to sleep the website of Intricate weave but the good news we will incorporate for those textile enthusiasts
a page for purchasing these amazing and unique products on Ladies Midlife Travellers Club website. So much easier to maintain one website.

The monthly newsletter will contain special sales of these textiles as I can't keep them all to myself. 😁😅

As dusk settles across the Dades Valley, Morocco and the golden light of the setting sun colours the rocky mountains to a dusky pink. The warm golden lights begin to glow their warmth across the building and paths to light our way in the darkness of the night...
Ahh memories of Morocco.🙏💞

Taliouine in South Morocco accounts for 90% of saffron growing in Morocco.
In the harvest time from October through to December the fields are a flood with purple as the six petalled flower appears.
Harvested at dawn by hand by the local Berber women thus preserving the unique compounds of the stamen.
Saffron is of much interest to the world for its medicinal and nutritional benefits.

Below is a picture I photograph inTaliouone of the early morning harvest in the fields.
