21.01.2022 Adventuress Morocco travel buddies and Adelaide friends...I have been missing Morocco terribly and last night discovered this fabulous Moroccan restaurant, Le Riad in Pulteney Street. It’s been there for years and I never got around to trying it...but it is fabulous...really delicious, authentic food, an interior that you can imagine almost being in Marrakech...and a chatty Berber owner...so, i highly recommend a visit.

17.01.2022 Ralli Quilts I am so drawn to the wonderfully bright and vibrant Ralli Quilts made by women in southeastern Pakistan and western India. I love how they use col...ors to express their individuality and create such beautiful textiles made from recycled cloth. The word comes from the local word ralanna, which means 'to mix' or 'to connect'. Rallis are used over charpoys, which are short-legged wooden cots to keep the user warm. The more rallis you have at night the cozier you feel. In some areas, the wealth of a family is measured by how many rallis they own. Ralli quilts have been made for centuries by rural women sometimes as a part of their dowry that they would take to their new home after their wedding. How vibrant are these connections?
