I've been slowly going native in the "motherland" Latvia for the last 10 years, after growing up in sub-tropical Brisvegas, Australia ... analysing the differences, advantages, life styles in both places.
Many of the images on this site are by husband Jem - and most of the images on the site are of my offspring Tiss and Mik.
What a beautiful place - I want to go there!
And you all look so happy to be there.
I attended this tradition once... pretty sure it was in my first autumn of you all being in my life! :)
