Chloe - "Quiet dear, I'm in the planning stage!"
My thanks to Ian and Chloe for their help in this educational piece. |

Try the tea, Dear One. "Johnny" Berber makes it!
Awfully good.
In a remote village in the Atlas mountains, ironically the inhabitants thereof have no idea about other places in the world, I was asked what I did to support my family and children.
"Go on then" I said to Hussien our Arab speaking Purser "explain Voice Over to them!"
Yer man tried and eventually came up the the best explanation possible for people who think Goats are hi-tech and Porsche is German for Donkey.
I was led to a rug, made to sit, given tea and then encircled by people aged from 3 years old to about 905.
M'colleagues are grinning like School children. Mohammed brings me into the loop.
"He told them you are a Story teller! Now you have to make them a story!"
I invited Hussein to translate a tale about the wartime exploits of my Father which remembered posting on the vo-bb about 4 years ago. Slightly embellished to torture m'translator which the Berbers found highly entertaining.
Monday, funny ole day! |

When that Morrocan tent is rockin' it must be Philip doing his story tellin' talkin'. How fun.
And you often get paid to fly an Airbus to these exotic mini "vacations" too. How cool.

In addition to Morocco Robert Plant was playing with his band here in Portland this week. I hear it was fabuloso.

Just in case anyone didn't know (and why wouldn't you?), Robert Plant is a big fan of Morocco and travels there often. _________________ Art Howard.com |
