Finishing up our week at Dhikololo and heading in to a peaceful week at home. Our days are so varied, but sometimes all on the same theme. My sister arrived this week and is now sharing the house we lived in years ago again. Ameli adores having her aunty around.

Life has been busy. Good, but busy. It’s been filled with visits, trips and appointments. And luxury – hair cut, massage, pedicure, to name a few.

Letter to a Nine Month Old
| July 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli I was just reading through the letter I wrote you last month and it feels like just last week I wrote it, but reading it back now, it seems like you were a small baby then. I don’t really know where to start with this month. Your great-granny from South Africa came to…

The Magic of Legoland, Windsor
| May 21, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |

I was expecting a relentlessly garish onslaught of consumerism in the baking sun surrounded by mobs of tired parents worn out by sugar-possessed children.

I often think of salmon, swimming upstream. I think of how hard it must be to swim against the current all the time. How tiring.
