I love the beach and could happily spend everyday there for ever - I don't mind the sand at all BUT the sand in the desert is so not nice
For the past week the weather has been totally pants - every day the sky is sand colour, no sun and baking hot - then the wind picks up and the sand is everywhere...
All of this sand on the verandah was in a 12 hour period - the workers here are given those funny little masks to wear - it gets right into your lungs YUCK i never though I would say this but I HATE (desert) SAND!
This is the view across the desert from our roof - usual you can see sand and desert for miles but yesterday evening it was just misty with sand.
Before I arrive out here a friend told me not to expect to get a suntan living in Riyadh - I thought he was bonkers but didn't question him as he'd lived out here for years - he warned me that most days in the Summertime were sandy ...silly me didn't believe him - but he is right. On sandy days ( of which there have been many recently) we don't see the sun at all !
I am so looking forward to returning to Europe for the Summer in 2 weeks to see greenery, blue skies, wind swept beaches and probably some rain!!
Here are some memories of last summer in England...
I can't wait to come home!!
Just in case I was being a little unfair on Riyadh - winter skies here are fabulous!!!
