miss b loves ........ Safa Park, Dubai and a very special café!



I mentioned a couple of weeks ago in a previous post here that we had enjoyed a stroll around the beautiful Safa Park in Dubai but it really does deserve its own post. Home to over 200 species of birds and almost 17000 trees and bushes, the wide open spaces are so peaceful and the grass incredibly healthy and green especially when you consider that Dubai is in the desert!


It's just three dhirams (about 50 pence) to enter and well worth it as there are a range of amenities including barbecue stations, a children's train and rides.  The park is so clean, immaculately maintained with colourful floral displays.....





 ..... water features....

miss b loves .......shoe quotes and more shoes!



During our trip to Dubai last month I decided to return to Level Shoe District, the world's biggest shoe store. (You can read about my first visit here.) This time there were shoe quotes everywhere and I couldn't resist taking photos of a few favourites .......


I definitely agree with this one too ....


.....some good advice.......

miss b loves.........spring in Dubai


It was such a treat escaping the freezing UK temperatures to  spend a week in March in Dubai. The perfect temperature to spend time outdoors starting with a stroll around Safa Park.....with great views of the Dubai skyline...



and the Burj Khalifa towering above the other skyscrapers......



.....a quick stop at the newly opened Pantry Café at Al Wasl Square opposite the park........for a rhubarb muffin...



No need to reapply my lipgloss in the ladies when I read this next to the mirror!!!...
