Christabel, do you recognise this photo from your blog? I think it's adorable! Like your father, I'd like you to put the names of the places you visit. I don't recognise this kangaroo paradise at all.
I was quite surprised when looking in the atlas to see where Estonia is - you'll be surprised, Olga, that I only had the vaguest idea - to discover it is very close to Finland! So you and Christabel must almost be related :-)) (I bought a globe a few weeks ago for Emma and me to share, but she took it upstairs straight away and I don't like my chances of getting it back!)
This afternoon when I was at the park with Emma, we spoke to a 19-year-old German au pair with her 6-year-old charge. It reminded me of Bianka, who came to Australia for her gap year at the same age. I think it's a wonderful experience for young folk. But I know how much I would have worried if my 19-year-old had wanted to go to the opposite end of the world. Fortunately he didn't! Well, not till he was much older, when he worked in Edinburgh for several months.

Beautiful picture - was he in a 'gentle' mood that day or just being nosy do you think? xx
