Three cheers for Harar!

Harar was colourful, cosmopolitan, buzzing, fun, friendly, warm, devout, tolerant, resourceful, proud, full of smiles and abundant in culinary delights. The rest of the world could learn a lot from the fourth holiest city in Islam, also known as the City of Beer.  Oxymoronic, yes; impossible, no.  If you ever need your faith in humanity restored, go here.  Top 3 moments?  Watching Friday prayers, going to the 5pm market of colour and drinking coffee (of course).  Let me know if you go - I'll give you the details of an awesome guy named Hailu who can show you around.

Hurrah for Harar!

So excited to share my Ethiopian adventures.  Here's a sneak while I'm going through them all.  Harar was magical - our favourite place of the trip by far.

winter wedding wonderland

Before we went away at the end of last year I did a wedding for a dear friend's sister.  It was the most beautiful winter's day and the afternoon sunlight was divine.  And THAT dress...

First trip to London

It was only right that we were the ones to introduce Orla to one of the world's greatest cities.  And what a ball we had...

I wish we could do this day all over again.  Digital set here.

Welcome to the world Orla...
