Christmas a time missing loved ones

 

So thankful I had time with my Princesses before Christmas as something changed we don't get to videocall like we used too .. i think Bushra as been busy with her new partner and commitments . But boy do I ache to have time with the girls sharing fun, learning together. Leen is such a chatterbox in English so such a good fun friend. 

I managed to have time with my new Ukrainian refugee family. Festive Update would be so much fun for the Professors of Linguistics to meet up. But wonder which language they would choose to use out of the 8 languages they speak in total.  Last time I chatted with Leen and Celine they were using Duolingo to learn more ... Celine Spanish, Leen Italian and Turkish .. amazing how our refugee children are developing as polyglots. 

Fairy Christmas Cafe

 

My Belgium friend and vrijwilliger volunteer took me to the park cafe Leopold park Oostende it was so lovely like a magical fairy cafe with all the Christmas lights and decorations.. When I went back to the apartment and told the girls they excitedly put their coats on wanting to go and see... so we did .. they loved it 

💞🎄🎁🎅So thanks dank u wel Monique for helping me find this place 🎄🎁🎅💞
