AWAY TO MOROCCO

I will be on holidays in Morocco to discover the beautiful southern part of this country. I will see the Atlas mountains, the desert, and some historical sites too.

We will travel by bus. After the trip we will stay for 2 days in Marrakech to rest at the swimming pool before we take the plane back to Brussels.

Of course I will report whenever I can and show you photos. It all depends on Internet connections.

Probably I have to be rather stingy with answers to your comments, I won't have enough time, but I will catch up when I am back.

When I looked at my freshly planted petunias, I was surprised that they looked rather skinny especially in the flower pots along the entrance.

At a closer look I saw SNAILS ! Never ever in the 33 years we live in this house I had a snail invation ! And not the naked once, no of course in my garden they had to move in with house, furniture and probably children ! I absolutely have to write a letter to Al Gore and ask for explanation ! Is it the global warming or are these space snails under cover ? Anyway I had to do something before they ate up the whole house and us included !

I declared "WAR " ! and put this snail killing product everywhere !

my skinny petunias attacked by 6 snails, the blue grains are poison (for snails only)

The result this morning was, that I collected around 30 empty snail houses, the corpses probably had melt with the product or went back in their space shuttle. How disgusting ! I am now a snail mass murderer, I, a such peaceful person ! But peace and love with snails doesn't work !

Even our letter box was invaded, and they had eaten up an invoice, which in itself was a nice gesture, but we probably will get a reminder !

and here is my harvest from this morning !
