I'm alive

Yes, very much and all is well too in my part of the world.

I never expected the blog to come to a complete standstill. It's just that with the kids home on their summer break coupled with quite a bit of travelling and additional company made it quite hard for me to keep pace. Thank goodness for the facebook page which allowed me to update with an occasional picture here and there.

So coming back to the present, I cannot believe how the past six weeks just flew by. It turned out to be an amazing summer break with amazing weather. The best that I have experienced in the past 3 years. Schools re open on Thursday and I hope to be back to our normal routine in the coming weeks.

For now, we are clinging onto whatever remains of the gorgeous summer we have had. It doesn't feel like autumn yet though the trees have slowly begun turning a shade of pale yellow. The flowers are here to stay for a little while and am holding onto all the colour and sunshine.
