Christmas Events 2015

Christmas has come and gone, but to me it was a very memorable time especially last Christmas 2015. It could be because; most of the family members make an effort to join in the gathering and celebration. I had truly enjoyed last Christmas thanks to my sister in law; Marilyn who oversees all the programmes and has come up with some wonderful and unforgettable events. We started at around 12.30pm when everyone has attended church services and the last preparation of the food both cooked at home and ordered from the restaurants were brought home. Then one of my nephews Terry was assigned to be the Photographer, apart from his bank job, I heard he also does part time Photography, which is great and we had a collection of nice pictures to review.There were games for the kids and lucky draws to look forward to and all walked away with nice and beautiful gifts

Laurance and Marilyn's Garden

How would I describe my brother’s house, he builds it like a Chalet style and it is all made of wood and all through the year fruit trees, flowers and greenery surrounded his house. His wife, my sister in law, Marilyn, also like to do gardening despite her heavy work schedules in one of the Government department offices. I love the orchid plant that she hangs over her balcony. All in all it is like a fairy tales house as everywhere you turn , you will see trees, plants and flowers. It is a cozy enclave for the family.

Below are pictures from his garden, it is an update to those previous write-up.

Beautiful Family's Gardens

It’s that time of the year again when we visited my mom’s place where the family gathered for the Holiday celebration. It has been almost a year I have not been back to the family house, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the garden doing quite well despite of the scorching hot weather. The whole place was filled with greenery, the trees were full of leaves and all the hardy plants were blooming with colours. As usual I spent my time walking all around the garden taking pictures after pictures.
