O Frabjous day! Calloo! Callay!

Finally - after two months of kicking our heels in what is, admittedly, one of the nicer houses in Marrakech - we got the keys for our real house and have moved all of our belongings in! This was a relatively easy process as the two houses are connected, so I helpfully carried the Champagne and the Pimm's while my ever-loving husband lugged the cases and boxes.

The house is as divine as ever, blissfully cool and oh my, but it's exciting to have a house of our own! For those of you who don't know me personally, we were married in December and have been living in a lovely apartment in Dublin for the last while before we came here, so this is our first actual house, with its own front door and multiple bedrooms etc.

Now, as luck would have it, tomorrow, on what should be our first full day of running around in domestic ecstasy, we will be leaving our new home in our housekeeper's capable hands and jetting of to the US (at 6am *groan*), to a town called Chincoteague in Virginia for my husband's family's annual holiday. I will continue to post, but perhaps not every single day, so keep checking in, or subscribe.

In the meantime, I have taken a couple of pictures of the new house, although not as elegant as the ones I posted a few weeks ago, and perhaps with piles of luggage in the corners. Ooh! I can't wait to have our first party there when we get back!
