two in the country side

 We had two weeks just for two.

 We headed for the country side away from big city.

 We saw the Chagal glass windows.

 We had tea in a lovely cottage.

 We visited a church straight out of British murder mystery. 

 We walked thru meadows and gardens.

pretty in pink

 There where pretty girls in pink dresses at my sons cousins birthday.

Now I see my own fondness for flower prints comes from

 spending the day with lego ninjas and cops and robbers.

holiday back

We visited Seurasaari and its old fashioned houses 

in Helsinki where we are spending our holiday.  

 My feelings are changing all the time now that I am a tourist in my own country.

I try to find beauty and peace in single moments

and not to think big questions like where I am (from).

I am lucky to have the best travel companion. 

Here he is playing bunnies. He was happily tired after.

new home

 This is our new home on the same street. 

 I love the kitchen.

 Bathroom is modern.

 The whole house is rather romantic.

 My sons room is green.

a career in making

This spring and summer I have been a nanny. Now lovely miss S has flown away with her family, but a new thought about what to do with my life has stayed.

I must admit that when I was looking for a job, I was just looking something really easy and something that could be combined with my son being only three hours a day in the nursery. My Seattle friend C said that I could always be a nanny. 

And you know what? I am actually pretty good with kids and I do like it. So my new ambitious career move is to become a childminder. Now I am taking some basic courses on childminding to be able to take care of children in my own home. And hopefully in November we will have a new morning girl with us.

Street Party

We had our street party on a sunny Sunday.

We spent the whole day on our street with our neighbours.

 I made blueberry pie and it got all eaten.

 C and D made some yummy savory pies.

 Our street is the best and it makes living here in London so much nicer.

addicted to laundry

What is the weather like?

Is it a good day for laundry?

Laundry makes me happy.
