A Perfect Day
The weather has finally given us a break in the cold and rain - on the weekend, although it was chilly (and let me have a whinge here - they still haven't turned on the central heating and we are frozen both indoors and out), both days were fabulous sunny, blue-sky days. I abandoned all thought of translating responsibilities and we went out with our friend Mara (who is back for a month to pack up her stuff and ship it back to Oz) to her family's gorgeous yet dilapidated country manor - to gaze at the splendour of Latvian autumn. It didn't disappoint. Even the boys, who lately have to be coaxed outdoors, were excited by the excursion and exploring.
On the way home we stopped at Bauska castle (13th century ruins) and climbed the (not very) high tower. This is where the differences in personality in the boys was demonstrated:
Love the last pic- nice family shot. :)
I don't envy you your heavy coats (aren't those the boys' winter coats?!?). But, the change of seasons does look pretty. :)
also... I had to ask Joel what "free snaking" was... never heard that term before... and now I am laughing. :)
Jem and I were debating whether you would know!! Well an important point if you're about to marry an Aussie I guess...
Hey I remember that place. It looks a lot different without snow everywhere. Nice Pics

"free ballin" or "going commando" That what's we call it. :)
