I have booked to go on a really exciting trip to Morocco in June . The trip is organised by the artist, Coleen Cassar who has lived in Morocco for years and knows about the culture and people. These tours have been very popular but this year numbers are down and the tour may have to be cancelled. I will be so disappointed if it does not go ahead. So I am putting this website address in the news letter in the hope that someone out there would like to do the trip as much as I do.
