Baby boy

Yesterday our landlord's son got a baby boy. They will return home in a few days. Congrats!

Fridge

Today we bought a fridge for the flat.
I will never take a fridge for granted ever again.

Beautiful sari

Everytime I see a beautiful sari like this on the street, I feel like I'm living in a dream.

Fabric market

Leya and I went to the market and bought swatches to make different nail mat products from.
Always a pleasure to see all the colours and patterns.

Wania, Leya's new friend

Leya has already a new friend, 6-year old Wania.
She is the grand daughter of our land lord and lives in the same house, so it's easy for them to play.

The toilet

We have rented a 2BR flat and we were a bit worried about the toilet style, but it was western.
Thanks heaven!

Back in Delhi

We landed in Delhi at a new part of the airport and they had these beautiful mudras, hand positions, on the wall. We ate a breakfast at the airport before we took a taxi to our flat in Pahar Ganj, a neighbourhood in the central of Delhi.

Micki and Wednesday are pretend fighting

Cows

Yesterday I moved my fathers cows to another field with more grass. My parents are in Scotland and Nicholas has a serious cow fright, so I was on my own.
A few calfs were left behind, so I had to chase them for almost three hours before a cow came back and herded them to the new field. Amazing to see!

Leya, our model

Leya loves to pose in front of the camera.

Ducks

Leya has two duck friends.
