They arrived from Carinthia in Austria where Sebastian’s sister got married last Saturday. They stayed with us two nights on their way to Singapore and we enjoyed to have them around a lot. It was too hard to have them in Cambridge while they were living in Bruxelles but now that they live in Singapore… […]

We went to London for the Summer Sling Show in order to try some new carriers before buying one of them. We tried Ergo, Bondolino and Sleepy Nico. We also talked with an independent sling expert and we tried with her the Napsack carrier. The winner was the Sleepy Nico because it was the lightest […]

We took the Eurostar train from London and stopped in Paris at Elsa & Colin’s flat. We had nice breakfast at their place with Sonia & Silvia on their way back to Rio from Singapore while waiting for my parents to arrive. Elsa is pregnant and the little one is due for the end of […]

We went walking to meet our NCT friends for a coffee: Sally & Sam, Catherine & Luca, and Geeta & Sienna were there. We had a lovely time chatting around a nice coffee.

After being not well last Thursday, I felt dizzy with flu-like symptoms, had a bit of fever and swollen, red and painful breast… I took some paracetamols and had a day off resting at home. Alan stayed home also to take care of Louisa… I am so lucky to have him! I’ve looked over internet […]

We invited Catherine, Tood & Luca for a “French” picnic but the weather was not as good as we could hope… so we ended up at our home. We did “tomates farcies” and “reine de saba”, typical french recipes from my Mum. We talked a lot about the world as Todd travels a lot. Alexia […]

Ignacio & Ludmila came to stay with us for the week-end. It was really great to have them around while Ignacio is still in Lancaster and before he is going back to Rio! We had nice dinners together and Louisa enjoyed a lot playing with them! She was captivated by Ignacio reading “Le Petit Prince”!
