The Photo Gallery: Girls
I love my little girl. She is pure and eternal sunshine with the cheekiest grin and a loud giggle.
We play, we sing, we dance, we paint, we love, we walk, we share, we read, we have fun, we hug, we talk, we laugh, we cook, we run, we dress up, we swim, we eat, we learn, we draw, we shop, we travel, we have the same curls in our hair, we enjoy every day together.
We’ve almost come to the end of our eight week holiday visiting family and friends in New Zealand. We’ve had an amazing time and our bond has grown even stronger, if that’s at all possible. This week’s Photo Gallery is Girls and I’ve loved being able to spend time here with my little girl, my mum, my sister, my niece and some of my best girlfriends.
Girls just want to have fun, right?
The Photo Gallery: Bond
This week’s theme for The Photo Gallery is Bond. Not as in James Bond but as in the everlasting bond that is created between family, friends and pets.
I’ve been surprised at the amazingly strong bond created between Imogen and her cousin Baby Amber and with Molly my beloved rescue cat of 17 years.
The absolute beauty of these intense bonds is that they’ve developed in only four weeks since our arrival in New Zealand.
Imogen and Amber are the best of friends. They share toys (most of the time) and enjoy holding hands and running together, splashing in the paddling pool and most of all they both adore giving one another big hugs.
Imogen is so loving and gentle of Molly despite being a toddler and wanting to share her exuberant energy. Molly has an arthritic hip which makes her very slow to move and she likes to sleep a lot. Rather than running around the garden Imogen spends a lot of time talking to Molly and giving her plenty of strokes and many kisses.
My parents kindly took over the care of Molly the cat when I ventured from New Zealand to England in the summer of 2003. It was heart wrenching saying goodbye to Molly and I have been so fortunate to see her again, especially this time given she is such a ripe old age.
