Whatsoever is Lovely Challenge – Time with my Family

thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Whatsoever is lovely…https://xingfumama.blog/2024/06/02/whatsoever-is-lovely-challenge-2024-week-22/

As many of you know I was away for close to a month to travelling throughout the Uk. The main reason for going was to spend time with our son and his family who live in London, England. We started our trip in Edinburgh and Dundee, Scotland because our son had to travel to the V&A Dundee for an opening of a new show. It was wonderful spending time with him and learning about the installation that he was responsible for. There was also another brand new opening and we were invited to attend this event. It was called Kimono: From Kyoto to Catwalk.

After our time in Dundee, our son took the train with us to London, where we spent the the next 16 days sightseeing and spending time with the family. Sevin is now four and attending Nursery and will be starting school in September. We loved spending time with her in the evenings and on the weekends.

Squares – Burgeoning

thanks to Becky B for hosting the Square challenge this past month https://thesquaresofb.com/2024/05/31/squares-renew-31/

I’m sad to have missed most of this challenge. I found it too difficult to post photos on my holiday in the UK. So on the last day of the challenge I’m submitting some square photos of burgeoning proportions.
