Hello's and Goodbyes for Christmas

On returning from Sierra Leone it was great to be welcomed back home by not just Irfana and Zara, but also my Amma and Daddy from Pakistan. It has meant there is constant home made roti (chapati) and various dishes on the go and our need for child care is no longer an issue.... I have also finished my first term at Goldsmiths college   where I am studying  part time for an MA in Applied Drama. It has been a challenging term with lots of reading involved and over the Christmas break I will be writing a research question from my trip to Sierra leone to be handed in early in the new year.

What's the crack

I have uploaded some pictures to Flickr of our recent trip to the Tate with friends from Deddington to see a crack which runs the length of the main hall. We also went out for an evening  of Pizza in Streatham with my Dad and Step Mum. Check them out by clicking here

Madonna with Child

My CMS Colleague and friend Jonny Baker took this picture of Zara and Irfana at Greenbelt and emailed it to me yesterday with the title "Madonna with child"  I think it is great as you an see Irfana's motherly love and fascination as she gazes down at Zara and Zara's mix of curiosity and vulnerability.
