Paul & Lauren’s Travels

Weekend’s in Kiev are an exception to the maddening pace of this city. Major city streets are closed and crowds take to the streets with a summery vigor. Street performers entertain passersby whilst vendors sell windup toys and bubble blowers. For a brief interlude in the week good cheer abounds and the city is carefree.

This morning we awoke to an absence of electricity, not a huge problem but a significant threat to our morning coffee. Fortunately we had invested in a large supply of tea light candles and a small BBQ, in not much time we were enjoying Italian espresso. Now, if only there was something we could do about our temperamental, centrally supplied, hot water?!

Schools out! We are on holidays.  Why the thermal photo?  On the last week of school, I took in my mac book for all of the children to experiment with photo booth.  The 3-5 year old’s were in fits of giggles.  What’s next you may be wondering?  Paul and I will hopefully leave next week for our  European holiday.  The plan is Berlin, Paris & provincial France (2 weeks) then to Milan and Reggio Emilia.  So the excitment is building.  We will be picking up a camera each so we will be back to full blogging potential!  Armed and Dangerous!
