Colombo – The Five Gypsies

Ruben in action!

Lucky me that I was there watching him and just managed to record it! Both Miguel and I hadn’t seen him play in a long time and both felt so proud 🙂 It has been more than a month now since he lives 5 days a week in Colombo. Just before Christmas he got aContinue reading “Ruben in action!”

One Sri Lanka…

Devastated….In total shock…What was the beginning of a beautiful Eastern Sunday turned into a nightmare.

An ordinary day at home…

An ordinary day but so much joy when seeing the boys having fun together at home. I enjoy it so much and have a giggle so often. 🙂 Guido is at an adorable age. He can walk much better now although he struggles to keep it up at times. He loves to push Sam onContinue reading “An ordinary day at home…”
