Middle East Flavours

This morning I visited Diera Souk with my son. He’s visiting Riyadh at the moment and our sunny winter days have made getting out and about very pleasant. First, we walked to Al Zel Souk, the older part of Diera where more traditional Arabic merchandise is sold. We spent a happy couple of hours meandering past shops selling long fur-lined Arabic cloaks or bisht, and tailors stitching cross-legged on the ground. 

Bananas and Scream

"Bananas and cream,
Bananas and cream;

And all that we want is
Bananas and cream!”

Lazy Sundays

This morning, my toddler and I sat happily playing with Duplo as the sun streamed through the windows of the conservatory. Perhaps it was the sunshine - unfamiliar to those of us living in London, and more reminiscent of mornings in Italy - that put me in the mood for making pizza.
