EXCITED!

I just had to say, yesterday I received an e-mail from my parents telling me all about their new home they're setting up in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). My mum also thoughtfully sent an attachment jam packed with photo's of their new home and it looked absolutely stunning. Since all my family spent many years in Cyprus and England I have grown to love the mediterranean and UK style houses and this new one is a beautifully different yet again. Still with the splashes of pinks and reds in the flowers climb the walls of the courtyard and the rooms are HUGE and spacey and full of marble. And, get this, A POOL! I can only imagine the memories waiting to be made that will get jam packed inside this new pretty shell. I'm sure they will quickly settle and I am so proud and happy of my Dad to take the leap of faith to go and carve something new in a strange and exotic land. I am already imagining the posts I will be writing about what I see when I visit them!

Bank Holiday Weekend

The British May bank holiday weekend.

This is the weekend that everyone hopes and prays that the sun will shine and the air will begin to warm up. We decided to spend our weekend pulling all the stops out and do the old fashioned South Sea Seafront walk along the promenade! I absolutely love the adorable vintage slot machines and the pink and blue puffy clouds of candy floss swinging from the open shutters of the ice-cream parlours and how such a date in the calendar year brings everybody together. Us and our friends had a blast winning cuddly toys at the fair and riding on the Waltzers, rounded off with a romantic wander home as the sun set snap shooting the delights of the lovely quaint neighbourhood that we live in. May is the beginning of summer time and I simply cannot wait to enjoy more days like these!

Love,
