Lefkara. That is the name of this breathtaking village just outside of Larnaca. We headed there yesterday, on a beautiful sunny but cool day with my sister and her family. The kids had a fantastic time walking through the pebbled alleyways and eating loukoumades, which again I didn’t get a picture of, because I just […]
My parents left for London this afternoon. My daddy needs surgery. Sigh. I have been writing and deleting wondering if this is something i truly want to share here on the blog. But you know what? It is. Because this is a trying time for my family and this blog is about both the […]
So I turned 31. I’ve been telling people it’s just number because that is truly how I feel. I can’t say that my age defines who I am or how I live my life because it doesn’t. If anything, being a mummy and having a birthday is far more terrifying than […]
Sunday. With no lunches or birthday parties to attend, our little family called for a mini road trip- really, is it possible to take any other kind with a 20-month old? Papa and I decided Zygi, a little fishing village outside of Limassol, would make the perfect destination. We took the coastal road and […]
Last night it hit me: My camera has gathered dust. It’s been neglected, which ultimately means that I’ve been stuck in this stupid non-productive rut for far too long. So this morning, I grabbed my trainers, a banana, some water and my camera and headed for a walk with Georgie through Athalassa […]
Sunday marked a fun day for kids in Nicosia. Apart from the Flying Away Festival, Little Kickers also had a little something planned at one of the parks. It was a hot and humid day made bearable by the big old trees and the shade they provided but everyone managed to have a lot […]
The Flying Away Festival is one of those events I really look forward to. With an impressive number of artists rounded up on a football pitch in Nicosia, it is the perfect place to scour through all the handmade, vintage, artful and beautiful that our island has to offer. I fell head over […]
Agia Napa was chosen as the perfect location to spend time on our own. Georgie, it was decided, would spend a whole week with his grandparents in the mountains. Two more days than the time we flew to Brussels, which meant I was dreading the separation anxiety attack. Oddly, it never came. Perhaps […]
Life has been good this past week. We headed to the mountains on Sunday, where Georgie will also be spending a week with his grandparents while mummy and papa get some alone time. We found a gorgeous tavern sitting on a mountaintop complete with a treehouse and really good food. I think it’s called […]
I wasn’t too keen on the idea of taking Georgie to a waterpark- a wild toddler amongst swimming pools is what I call NERVE-WRACKING!-but I am so glad we did. It’s a new family ‘tradition’ we have had every summer for the past six years-maybe even more and this was our first time […]
