Surprises from America

Milla's 'bestest' little friend, Ava, is on an adventure in San Francisco. A long-term adventure, that is. They moved there over a year ago, and we miss all of them terribly! Ava's mum, Sally, is always full of ideas; craft, excursions, theatre...you name it! Life's a party - not even a grey, dull every day is boring,  and we loved having fun together! And now that 'Something on Saturdays' is almost starting again in town, we miss them even more! Every now and then we get little surprises in our mailbox... Letters, lots of photos of what they have been doing in America and little presents! Our latest surprise was an amazing Christmas card (as always!), a school photo of Ava and three adorable little felt ornaments. 





Not to mention a subscription for Okido - the arts and science magazine for kids! We love it! To show you just how much fun is in the magazine, here is a YouTube clip from an earlier magazine edition: 'A storm in your hand' - dealing with weather, they designed a hand held storm to cut out of the magazine and build! Is that clever or what?! Have a look:

  1. We miss you guys so much too :)
    Lola is "helping" me on the computer at the moment and she was very excited to see the top picture. "Look there's me with all the Millas!".
    There should be another little parcel arriving soon plus something else going in the mail tomorrow :)
