Ever since we decided to spend some of our time abroad in Graz, I had mostly been looking forward to a real winter Christmas – I had forgotten about how beautiful a ‘real’ autumn with piles of fallen leaves can be…
I am aware of a storm of orders from all over the planet once you have a look at the pictures below, but I had to show you the amazing things Opa made for and with the kids – after their own ‘designs’…
David finally re-joined us from NZ and we went to Prague to visit friends from our Dublin days, sending us down memory lane – thanks so much for a great week end, David and Anje!
They had so much fun rolling down the hill that Liam vomited from motion sickness…
