Scarlett Grace 9 years

 

TENTH JANUARY 2023 -

My baby girl turned 9 and for the ninth year in a row we celebrated her in Benihana, she face timed with uncle Henke, Grandad and Grandma, and she got her grafitti print jumper that she really wanted! (H&M £10 - blessing she's not in to brands like big bro haha!) 

December and Christmas 2022

Well we certainly had ourselves a merry little Christmas (and a little snow!) with a family lunch at Cecconis and entertainment by Mariam and Munch imitating Britain's typical chavs that had us laughing out loud!  

 

Pappa's London visit Oct 2022

 

Finally the kids got to see their granddad- it was his first visit since before lockdown.

Apart from the obvious pubs and restaurants visits, dad also got to see Sean working at the till in the Swedish shop around the corner. I was very proud.
And 4 nights was simply not enough.  

It struck me whilst spending quality time with him after all this time that I struggle watching him getting older and it's an inescapable challenge but thankfully he is fit and healthy -And boy did we have nice time. Love my pappa so much! 

Vacation Vibes - Bodrum 2022

And so we returned to our "home from home' in usual order.

 This was our 10th year going back to Bodrum, Torba Bay and to the same hotel. From the moment we check in to our room we always know we have arrived somewhere really special to us. 

We were watching the spectacular sunset at the end of the day, cocktails in our hands, grilled fish for lunch at the foot of the ocean, boat trips and beach clubs- it really is our getaway destination! 

This time around we discovered a new place, Folie Restaurant & Sea  (shown in the last few pics) - and with the elevated seaside sundeck platform and the most stunning views I think it's safe to say that with that location, we probably had one of our best restaurant experience on the Turkish riviera 

 - the novelty of staring out over the blue/green ocean simply never wear off!
