Back from Bali and freezing..............

So here's some pics....... Hi everyone and its lovely to be back from Bali, to see my love ones and friends but not quite happy with the weather yet............. We have come home again to realise and to be reminded that we live in a very wealthy country. God has kept us safe in this foreign land, one of not much wealth, an island almost totally relying on tourism to survive. In my ears constantly ring the words, "please mum give me business, me go bankroot, i give u good morning price" and this crying out goes on all day long, but they are quite accepting of your "no thankyou" cause you cant stop at every shop and buy all their stuff..........and they also seem quite happy with so little as well, the children are playing in their little village space or carparks on their bikes or on their butts' and the ladies are always preparing offering baskets in fron tof their market shops when no customers coming....etc while the men are everywhere "hello do u want transport" and then when you give them a job they can't speak a scratch or very little english:) Yes we have been spoilt with just fabulous hot weather for 2 weeks. So much time to enjoy eachothers company (DH), via walking and talking and dining and wining and swimming and sunning and a wee bit of touring.......and not to mention all the facials and pedicures and manicures and massages.... I didnt take many photos this year, way more when we take the kids. But i will share a few and they are mainly people shots ok! I am looking forward to surfing all your blogs again and have some workshops to prepare for in the next few weeks so that's going to have to inspire me looking at all your blogs too. Have a lovely week.

Hello Jen--finally a comment from me after you've left countless comments on our blog!! Great to see your photos from Bali--you both look so relaxed and you so tanned! (by the way, you will have to tell me sometime how you get your photos so small). Thanks for your email too! God bless,
Love, Nadia

From the pictures and what you say sounds like you guys had an awesome time. Love the photos of you with the lion and also you and Hil with the monkey - Great memories. Back to reality now I guess. Our weather isn't the best at the moment is it - toooooo cold for me - I don't have any insulation left on me - so this winter I'm really feeling the cold! Anyways hope you have a great week xx
