Christmas Tree Farm with Lola

Bombi and Lola have all the best fun when they are together! Here are the girls at Christmas Tree Farm in Bromley. We drove there in the Land Rover:

Bombi visits baby sis Nelly

Here's Bombi with baby sis Nelly and Aunty Neeshal. Nelly is nearly 1 month old!

Godmother Niki, Godsister Lucia and little bro Jamie come to visit

Another lazy day - very hot today, so we went for lunch at the Plough. Maxime, Laura and Anais also came. It's Lucia's 7th birthday, so she came over to visit and pick up her birthday pressies. She also brought me some lovely flowers and fruit that her and Jamie had been picking at a farm in Enfield - yummy strawberries and blackberries. Bombi covered herself in strawberries (of course!).

Here's the gorgeous birthday girl Lucia:

Afterwards, we went home for some pondwatching and cooling off under the sprinkler!

Here's a lovely rainbow over our pond:

Coram's Fields with Annie and Lola

Annie and I went to Coram's Fields in Bloomsbury with Bombi and Lola. We took them in our Ergo slings on a couple of busses up to Russell Square. The girls loved playing in the sandpit, looking at the goats, and playing on the adventure squishy things, ball park and tunnels!

Here's Bombi practicing some juggling:

Afterwards, we popped into Liberation in Covent Garden to say hello to Fairy Godfather Hodgie, then we went next door for delicious sushi at Kulu Kulu. The girls tucked into rice, melon and avocado. Here's Bombi trying out her chopsticks!

Mamaheaven in Hereford, August 2009

I took Bombi to a Mamaheaven mother and baby yoga retreat in Hereford for three days. Here we are stopping off in Newport - we've never been to Wales before!
We travelled up on the train with Tabassum and Moji, arriving in time to look around the beautiful Elizabethan and Medieval timber buildings.
We met all the other mums and babies as well as all the wonderful Mamaheaven girls. Later that night, Daphne from Penrhos cooked us the most amazing food from her GreenCuisine kitchen. The babies were fed the delicious, healthy food and they all really loved it. I know Bombi is an adventurous eater, but I was really pleased that she hungrily wolfed down all the delicious treats that Daphne made: Nettle puree, carrot and spirulina puree, beetroot puree, oatcakes, seaweed, polenta sticks, raw cookies and hemp smoothies just to name a few things that Bombi tried.

Here's Teddy tucking into an unidientified tasty object:Here's one of Erika Tourell's yoga sessions:
These are just a few images, but you can see all of my photos here.

Bombi in Berlin

Bombi had a fantastic time in Berlin with Uncle Adam. Adam made us feel at home - he'd gone out and got Bombi a travel cot to sleep in, and even made her special tasty baby yum-yum treats! We stayed in Hermannplatz in Kreuzberg:

Here's Bombi enjoying Jack's Fun World in Reinickendorf in North Berlin:

Bombi in the garden

Here's Bombi enjoying eating grass and playing with her football in the back garden.

Bombi has now just started to crawl, so trouble is on the horizon!

Today, Bombi is going to a casting for Gap Kids in Notting Hill, then we are going to see Edwige in Maida Vale. Hopefully we will go see Neeshal this evening as she is having her baby at King's Hospital as I type this. Busy day for Bombi :)

Holiday in Turkey, May 2009

There are just too many photos from our holiday in Datca, Turkey to post up here, so here's a link to Flickr and a few photos:

We can't wait to go back to Turkey. It is a beautiful place with so many lovely people who made us feel more than welcome, from the staff at the Villa Asina to the wonderful family who befriended us on our first day there and invited us to spend the week with them. Turkish hospitality is like Sri Lankan hospitality!

Bombi's Musical Journey

We had a lovely afternoon at the piano and I introduced Bombi to the music of Chopin, Massenet, Mendelssohn and Sakamoto.
