An old country interlude

[rainsinger]

Helena and I are in Belgrade (Matei joining us later on today) where we have been frolicking in the heat and having a wonderful time despite watching Djokovic painful loss at Wimbledon yesterday. Helena incidentally only proved what astar she was by entertaining herself while adults were glued to tennis, and then going around patting us on the head

It's always a joy to read about both of your children. They remind me of you in many ways, but without the 'edge' that was part of your own childhood.

I think that you probably self-censor a lot of what you write here about mattei, as certainly a lot of what you write is quirky but delightful and his frustrations come across as a child who has more knowledge than he knows how to successfully deal with all of the time, rather than any kind of 'negative' image.

They are both beautiful and I love to read about them both :)

Agree with this.

But you know what your posts (Nina, obvs) need?

PICTURES, seriously.

It has been a real joy to know you all these years.
