My loves! How are you??? I’m so excited to catch up. We simply bought residence after two weeks away, the place we noticed my household in Cornwall, England, after which associates in Copenhagen. I’d like to share pictures, if you happen to’d wish to see. First up, a moist week in England…
We visited my aunt Lulu, who took care of my grandmother for six years earlier than she died this spring. We’re crossing fingers and toes that we’ll have the ability to hold the household home (we’re ready to see).
It was enjoyable to have the littlest cousins there. Like all good English youngsters, they’re being indoctrinated to understand milky tea and wet climate.
I didn’t not have child fever. However are you able to blame me? These chubby cheeks! The fantastic ebook I’m studying by Irish creator Colin Barrett has a line about kissing a humid cheek: “She kissed him, chastely, on the cheek, the wetness of her pores and skin when she pulled away adhering like a decal to Danny’s pores and skin.” Don’t you recognize precisely what that seems like?
We laughed about all of the phrases used to explain the climate: misting, spitting, drizzling, sprinkling, drumming, hammering, pissing, pouring, bucketing, pelting, teeming, driving, chucking down… it additionally felt like a very good alternative to show the boys the phrase ‘ominous.’
Nonetheless, they bravely placed on wetsuits and jumped!
Toby and his cousin Bo have been so cute since they have been infants (right here’s slightly slideshow). They’re 4 months aside and look extra like twins yearly.
Youngsters be youngsters, as they are saying, haha.
Since individuals at all times descend like wolves on any meals that seems, my cousin had a professional tip for consuming chips: conceal them in a tea mug and nobody will know.
This signal additionally made me snigger — so well mannered!
Lastly, the solar got here out for the final couple days, which was a deal with.
Thanks a lot to my aunts Lulu and Janey for at all times taking such excellent care of us…
And to my grandfather and grandmother earlier than them. (Right here I’m at age 9.)
We love you, Cornwall. See you subsequent 12 months, I hope! xoxoxo
P.S. Our England journeys via the years, together with when Toby and Anton have been infants; and my packing listing this 12 months.
