A boat ride and rice&curry for lunch!

Today we were picked up early to go on a little boat ride with the kids and have a traditional rice&curry for lunch. At SriLankaInStyle we are developing experiences and this is one we needed to try out as a family. Just see if it would work for our clients and in the meantime the kidsContinue reading “A boat ride and rice&curry for lunch!”

Dambulla!

During the mid term break of school, we took the boys to Dambulla. We needed to explore the area for some product development and our friend Stefanie had offered us to stay at her beautiful house. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a few days away from the busy streets of Colombo. Back inContinue reading “Dambulla!”

Paradise Found!

We were in Galle for a few days with Anthe & Giles, our neighbours and dear friends. Kids were at the beach all day! Running, snorkeling, swimming, climbing trees…We stayed not far from where we used to live 7 years ago and nothing really has changed. The swing at Wijaya Beach is still there andContinue reading “Paradise Found!”

Sam and Ruby attended the pottery painting workshop together and later Ruben joined his friends for drama and puppetry. Zindzi and Anthe came a little later but they all managedContinue reading “Galle Children’s Festival”

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…”

A little break with the kids in Galle!

Kids have mid term break in October so we took them out to Galle. We were invited by a friend to stay at his beautiful villa not far were we used to live in Thalpe. We were lucky with the weather as it is the monsoon season but we had so much sunshine. The gardenContinue reading “A little break with the kids in Galle!”

A spiritual retreat with Guido…

We are at Samadhi Centre. A spiritual retreat in the hills of Kandy. A beautiful place where you feel so connected to nature and Sri Lankan’s culture. Guido is still so tiny but we felt confident enough to take him with us. This morning he had a bath in a little copper bowl that VenitaContinue reading “A spiritual retreat with Guido…”

Guido’s first little holiday!

Guido’s first holiday with us in Kandy! He is two and half months old and it feels as if he has been with us always. I just can’t imagine him not being part of our family. So familiar and such a sense of wellbeing. He sleeps so well, hardly cries, loves to engage with hisContinue reading “Guido’s first little holiday!”

We are staying in The Mud Hut for a few days. A beautiful little hut in the mid of the rice paddies and rural Sri Lanka. Libby’s wedding is in a few days time and this morning while Miguel was doing a bit of work, the boys were playing with the dogs and cricket inContinue reading “The Mud Hut…”
