Berber jewellery serves a much wider purpose than simple adornment. The jewellery a woman wears identifies her as a member of a clan or tribe, it is a sign of her wealth, it reflects cultural traditions and it has power beyond the visual, to protect her from the evil eye. A woman will receive jewellery from her mother until she marries. For her marriage, her future husband will commission his mother or sister to provide jewellery for her and these will be kept by her as dowry and added to throughout her life.

The text reads:
What is a Marriage?
It’s loving & cherishing, hopefully relishing
It’s hosting & toasting & Sunday roasting
It’s having & holding, the odd little scolding
It’s guessing, confessing & nightly undressing
It’s trying, relying, a little white lying
It’s snoring, adoring, occasionally boring
It’s enduring, alluring & most reassuring
It’s knowing & showing, & mutually growing
It’s compliment giving & always forgiving
It’s sharing & caring & dressing gown wearing
It’s walking, it’s talking & bottle uncorking
It’s tender supporting & raucous cavorting
It’s secret confiding & shoulder providing
It’s readily praising & often amazing
It’s loving, respecting & calmly accepting
It’s cleaning, it’s mopping, it’s waltzing & bopping
It’s needing, conceding & possibly breeding
It’s playing & paying, it’s coping & staying
It’s comfort when weeping, a warm body sleeping
It’s lives interweaving & always believing
That’s what makes a marriage.

A pinch of understanding
A tablespoon of trust
A drop of fun and flattery
And a smattering of lust.
A teaspoon of adventure
A heap of hopes and wishes
An ounce or two of thoughtfulness
And a scoop of hugs and kisses.
A grain or two of constancy
A dash of admiration
A slice of friends and family
And a cup of conversation.
A dollop of devotion
A soupcon of surprise
A bunch of boring household chores
And a spot of compromise.
A drizzling of honesty
A sprinkling of laughter
A splash of patience and support
Makes… a Happy Ever After!

Seeking caring candidate who thrives on interaction
To undertake a special role with lifelong satisfaction.

The ability to laugh a lot and listen to confession.

A wine or chocolate lover might perform well in this post.
Experience is valuable (but not as much as trust)
Willingness to socialise and empathise a must.
There may be opportunities for travelling and shopping
For gossiping and giggling and possibly for bopping.
The salary is judgement free, the bonus is advice
The hands on help is statutory, (the benefits are nice).
Though meetings may be limited by distance or by chores
No application necessary, the job’s already yours.

A Letter to Mum
To my wonderful Mum
I have to say sorry
For the teenage tantrums
And all of the worry
For all the times
I answered you back
Sulked and protested
And veered off the track.
Thanks for forgiving,
(Just one of your gifts)
For the listening ear
The advice and the lifts
Your unquestioning love
Your caring devotion
The hugs and support
At times of commotion.
You told me the truth
Yet let me be me
And helped me to find
Who I wanted to be.
You shaped me and gave me
All that you had
Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
What parents should be
With all of my love Mum
Forever - from me.

A Letter to Mummy
To my wonderful Mummy
I just have to say,
I think you are perfect
In every way.
You work so hard
To give me the best
With you on my side
I feel truly blessed.
Thanks for the kisses,
The stories, the fun
For keeping me safe
And being my mum.
I want to say sorry
For the mess that I make
For the noise and the tantrums,
The things that I break.
For all of the times
I wake you at night,
For when I am ill
And it gives you a fright!
But I need you and love you
And if there’s a muddle
I know you are there
With your voice and your cuddle.
So thank you for showing
What mothers should be
With love dearest Mummy
Forever… From me.

The Tea Lover’s Week
On Mondays it just has to be
A robust cup of English tea
On Tuesdays to begin the day
It’s Assam or a fine Earl Grey
Wednesdays if I get frustrated
It has to be decaffeinated,
On Thursdays it is most appealing
To brew a teapot of Darjeeling
On Fridays there is nothing finer
Than Chamomile in vintage China
Saturdays I’m rather keen
On a herbal, peppermint or green
And Sundays all that works for me
Is biscuit dunked in Builder’s Tea!

Thursday nights, if out I go,
I'm partial to a nice Merlot
On Friday friends may come and stay
We'll open up the Chardonnay

A hankering for ice cold Cava
And suddenly the week has gone...
It's Sunday night and Sauvignon!

Wednesdays if I get frustrated
It has to be decaffeinated,
Thursday when I’m back on track
I’ll have a trusty filter (black),
On Fridays just before a party
I’ll grab a fortifying Latte,
Saturdays just don’t feel right
Without a paper and Flat White,
And Sundays end with Frappuccino
Or a bedtime Cappuccino!

I perk up with a chocolate brownie
On Thursdays it is just no use
I have to dine on chocolate mousse
Fridays, I’m discovered huffing
Unless I’ve had a chocolate muffin
Saturdays, I spend in bliss
With a milky bar of Swiss
And Sundays I relax in bed
With paper, toast and chocolate spread!

And Sundays, how the hours dwindle
When I’m busy on my Kindle!
