I think that may be some artistic preference there too though - I just love that colour....<br /><br />Mummy Mishaps - true. Do we actually want to know the stuff that makes us feel guilty or uncomfortable? It's very easy for me with highsight to say I'd have wanted to know, but would I?<br /><br />Domestic Goddesque - you should! It really was lovely. Just hope it stays so.<br /><br />Kelloggsville - made me laugh! Am thinking you'd be best off not in the travel industry... And true too that it's not just a political choice, the media don't have to go along with it. I think I overlooked that.<br /><br />Michelloui - it was beautiful, and the people were lovely. I hope (she says glibly) that life gets better for them now and not worse. But you're right too. I say I'd have thought about it, but would I really when given a cheap offer of some autumnal sunshine....? <br /><br />JulieB - thank you! And a big thank you for following too. I suppose I just, as I said, felt stupid and naive for believing what I was told.<br /><br />Him Up North - I know. It's one of those difficult decisions as to where the responsibility lies, and how best we can help... And of course it's made all the harder if we don't have or aren't given, all the facts. Although of course that then begs the question of whether the facts are ever what they seem anyway.... <br /><br />Funky Wellies - hello and loving your name! That aside, off to check out your door...<br /><br />MD - I've never thought of doing that, but you're so right. I perked up a lot just looking at the sunshine when I was loading them up (despite the irritations of trying to move pictures around in blogger...)<br /><br />Emma - thank you! Enjoyed revisiting them!Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975259590293860488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-47689223175528548952011-02-07T17:15:33.150+00:002011-02-07T17:15:33.150+00:00Oh wow!

Do we deny them a living because they live under the rule of a despot? Much food for thought.

Problem is our front line media need to catch eyes so 'Tunisia still undemocratic' is not going to sell as many papers as 'social mum gets boob job on state' and it's not in the travel industy's interests to tell you any unpleasantries: "thinking of Eygpt madam? get in quick the unstable political system is about to blow a gasket" hmmm I think not. I guess it's up to us to go hunting for the truth but in reality how much do we really care..very thought provoking post, well doneAGuidingLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823333742737762759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-28625286186330794162011-02-02T10:37:29.095+00:002011-02-02T10:37:29.095+00:00Such a fabulous selection of photographs- I feel l...Such a fabulous selection of photographs- I feel like I've been there now!Kelly Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145699000960809495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-27662503844865358822011-02-02T09:40:38.864+00:002011-02-02T09:40:38.864+00:00Stunning selection of photos.
