An evening at the Burrows'

(Pic- our villa- the end one- ready to move in 01 October) I worked in the head office at Bur Dubai, had a meeting about the next bid and it was agreed that I will go to Parma next week to meet with the consortium. Left work and Liz was already down at Bruce and Lisa's villa with the kids, waiting for me to join them for dinner. Picked up a bottle of wine from the apartment (a rare commodity during Ramadan) and drove down to Umm Suqiem. Their villa is gorgeous, detached with a pool and the size of a small palace! Bruce had a collection of rugs from his travels, including one from Turkmenistan that i recognised from the pattern (similar to mine). There were Hoopoes feeding on their lawn (Chris). We had a lovely dinner prepared by Lisa, sat outside and talked in the warm evening to the sound of calls for prayer from the mosque, whilst the kids played in the pool then watched DVDs. We couldn't stay too late as we are moving apartments tomorrow.....
