Recent trip to see Family

 

Sorry for gap in posts as was ill with covid a few weeks ago as it seems many have been to the mean critter! But thankfully recovered regained energy to be able to travel to see my two Princesses in Oostende last week. All my stressing over rail strikes not a problem all went well to get to Paddington from Hayes & Harlington then to St Pancras station. Was early to board so enjoyed Rose Turkish hot chocolate at my favourite Pink  cafe EL& N and lovely staff packed up a sandwich for my journey.. I picked up a brilliant children's story of Mogg the Forgetful Cat ..which Leen can read! She read out aloud to me when we shared the story time and Celine listened in.

Beautiful sunset on a walk by the sea and felt good to have a paddle .. met some lovely locals and chatted... while girls at home asleep with Bushra.

Saturday night was a women's night with the kids and a good time of sharing and chatter..the women shisha.. and we listen to Arabic songs. Leen & Celine took their Our Generation dolls to play with others and even the boys joined in pushing dolls around in a dolls pram was so cute.. love how the Syrians are rebuilding their lives with work & businesses .. More of Bushra's art adorns her friends wall .. great coming together and supporting one another.
