In 1981, my parents were hoping that their firstborn (me!) would make an appearance on Guy Fawkes’ night, commemorated on November 5. That never happened but bonfires have remained a popular English tradition in my family ever since. Despite being over a week late (due to conflicting schedules of over 10 persons) my father managed to get most of us together and on Sunday night we celebrated my belated birthday. Thanks dad!
1. Converse. Always and forever.
2. Awesome morning light.
3. Painting pots and stones.
4. Picking out a much-needed Christmas present for Georgie.
5. Tools, pappou and Georgie means I can put my feet up.
6. His first time watching Superman. Such a special moment for me because I loved Superman movies as a child.
We are more than halfway through the summer holidays. Georgie’s first day at school is looming in the background of my mind. Yet it did not manage to spoil these purely magnificent days and nights we have spent with friends and family. Cold, miserable weather is more my cup of tea but man, I am learning to enjoy summer and I love it. Georgie has been on his best behaviour even after late nights and long days at the beach. I could not be prouder of him. We spent three days beachside and even though my camera was within reach, I just wasn’t interested. Instead I rode the ferris wheel with my heavenly baby at the fun park and rolled around in the sand with him on the beach. He is absolute joy and I am savouring every moment with him. Among our other summer activities are: celebrated papa’s birthday, took boat rides, barbeque’s in the rain, did yoga under a pine tree. And also welcomed my sister’s new baby boy. He arrived early and is absolutely perfect. Welcome to the family darling boy.
1. Georgie’s godfather returns…
2. …bearing insanely good gifts from Russia.
3. Lily Rose’s reaction to home-baked cookies. She then proceeded to jump through the window.
4. Shadow selfie.
5. Shadow selfie with Lily.
6. Cyprus goes tropical with rain pouring from the sky. No complaints.
Exploring Vienna was supposed to be a secondary experience to the Pearl Jam concert my friend and I attended while there. But to be honest, we were blown away; enchanting, outstanding and absolutely worth a visit.
