Tea in the garden

and some good old fashioned tree climbing.

Bubu should be able to harvest the dates soon!!!!

Mushrabayya puzzle

I unwrapped a giant jigsaw puzzle the other day.

The bubble wrap unopened since it was sent to us in England from Egypt.

I hope I can piece it together.

Any tips?

Khobar corniche

Pizza Inn at Khobar Corniche is definitely a favourite place

not for the food ( which is good) but for the view from their terrace.

And the nearby walk.

Life at home



I finally started to strip the wallpaper off the walls I've been waiting six years to do this! and have finished the sitting room and most of my bedroom, I dream of white walls.



I bought this fresh loofah at the supermarket it still has its seeds, do you think I can grow a vine from them?

some lovely flowers brought home from an engagement party

another little parcel arrived



We built Kuku a little desk



And created this little space for Bubu

and enjoyed being able to open the windows again

 I have been having alot of  problems with replying to comments, leaving comments and replying to e-mails with my yahoo address, I am really sorry for being silent I hope I can work out the reason soon.

Some little things

B and her cousin made their own gardens

Lovely things brought back from Al-Baha

chasing shadows

Little packages in the mail

 Ever since we moved over here my Mum has been sending us a steady stream of packages

Every one has been filled with goodies and treasures curated with love and thought

And when it arrives it makes our day.

These arrived today

Thankyou Mummy

Thankyou Grandma
