Sorry we haven't blogged for ages dearest readers
but we have been travelling the globe
to bring you sights 'n' delights
UZBEKISTAN!
We'd been invited by the British Council to go and do some work
to encourage and contemporarise this
and to quell the spread of this
ew
So after much hard effort in 30+ degree heat with no air con,
we managed to steal ourselves away to embrace some culture
and after many wrong turns
we travelled from the capital TASHKENT
to SAMARKAND to see the lovely mosques
amazing
i want that on my house entrance
and i want that on my ceiling
all the doors around the mosques were ornately carved
and the locks were so nice
stuff everywhere

the traditional child's cradle - above -
or the 'modern' equivalent -below-
which one for your child? shiny beautiful tradition
or scratchy fluoro netting?
this should be my door knocker, for sure!
more to follow!
