The absolutely stunning Marrakech

Marrakech is a UNESCO World Heritage City located in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and this totally non European city with extensive French connections will not disappoint. Stay at a Riad in the old part of the city, the Medina.

 

Traders pack the narrow streets and swoop on any tourist. A strong will is needed to shake them off, but all in good grace. Bartering is the order of the day. The Jemma el- Fraa Square is a central vast meeting place with plenty of action. Snake charmers and street entertainment will be in full flow from early morning. By dusk there are food stalls a plenty with a extensive array of choice with a local delicacy; sheeps head! Restaurants close by compete by offering entertainment. Belly dancing- and much more if you search off the beaten track!

No more ingrown hairs:

To avoid ingrown hairs after shaving, you should be careful to use sharp blades, as they separate the hair clean and produce less friction. In addition, it helps to shave the skin directly when showering, when the hair is soft and the pores are open. Shaving foam or gel softens the hair and straightens up. Then shower the skin off cold to close the pores and gently dab the skin with a towel

Wet or dry shave?

The wet shave is considered the gentlest variant and ensures a longer lasting smooth skin. For those in a hurry, dry shaving is an alternative, but the hair is cut only on the surface. This variant is therefore less thorough and the stubble are felt faster again.

The exhibition features a diverse range of art forms including painting, sculpture, video and mixed media, with a particular focus on the craft of art-making.

The Roux Scholarship

There was once a time when British chefs were considered inferior and incapable of ever comprehending true gastronomy. You’d think this was way back in the mists of time but you’d be wrong. Just a little over thirty years ago, Andrew Fairlie, the first winner of the Roux Scholarship, wrote to a number of senior French chefs asking for a job at their restaurants in France. Only one replied. The answer: ‘non merci.’ Read more
