Summer Time - August Trip to Cornwall

August was a very busy month. Olympic Games for the first part, visits and a very nice trip to Devon, meeting old good friends and making new friends. Here are some pictures from our busy August. Slightly catching up with our blog.


This summer, Maria started taking seriously her responsibilities as a big sister. She is a lovely sister, taking very good care of Elsa, playing with her, helping her to crawl and walk and giving her lots of cuddles.
 Maria with her friend, Emily at Wisley Gardens. A lovely day spent together.

 Guess what is in the picture?

At the end of August, my friend from Germany, Ursula, whom I first met years ago in the US, while I was an aupair, came to visit England. Ursula, her lovely little boy, Quirin and her funny friend, Sabine all came over here for 10 days and we rented a cottage in Devon together. It was a very nice trip and it was lovely seeing my old friend and also seeing her baby boy and Sabine. Here are some pictures from our trip to Devon.

 One of our visits was at an old Victorian village. Maria experienced some of the punishments from Victorian times. She was a very good actress. 





 On the way back home, we stopped in Salisbury, at the Racecourse.
 It was a special evening, with a Queen Tribute concert. Maria was in a great singing and partying mood (as usual).
