Sir <strong>Winston</strong> was not only one <strong>of</strong> La Mamounia's famous guests, but one <strong>of</strong> its most faidiful. The hotel named one<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most charming suites in his honour, which David <strong>and</strong> Lynn Druckman were permitted to visit on behalf <strong>of</strong><br />
Finest Hour. (See also page 25.) Everything in it is English: Chesterfield furniture, a regency desk, English wood<br />
paneling. It is a small museum to <strong>the</strong> great man, with original documents <strong>and</strong> photographs, a copy <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> his<br />
hats <strong>and</strong> umbrella. A reminder <strong>of</strong> why <strong>Churchill</strong> loved to come to Marrakech is his easel, which st<strong>and</strong>s in a corner<br />
with an unfinished painting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mamounia gardens that he so loved to portray. But <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> "paintaceous"<br />
views in Marrakech, <strong>Churchill</strong> most loved die distant prospect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> snow-capped Adas Mountains (below).<br />
