The Old Dame gets a cut

The wonderful Abdulgani, what would we do without him, nothing is too dificult.

We have a very old palm tree running through the riad, she is about 150 years old and has not had a haircut for quite a while.

Abdulgani with a machetee in his mouth and bear feet scaled up the palm which passes the first floor and the terrace. Once at the top he pulled a rope around him to free up his alms to cut the old palm fronds down. It was very exciting and has now given the riad patio on the ground floor alot of light.

The dates she produces are royal, they are huge. We now have our own organic dates from the riad to serve with a lovely mint tea when you visit.
