Life in Cyprus. Akrounta village and Silvia's dream- the goat!

Image
  Today is the last day of May 2022 and the completion of the contract in the apartment rented for us in Limassol. Our forced journey will continue and we will probably move into a house in the village of Akrounta, which is only 15 minutes drive from Limassol. This is so curious because I have said many times my desire to visit Italy, not a big city, but to visit a village and touch the lives of ordinary people who are engaged in viticulture or agriculture, and my desire seems to be fulfilled. A couple of days ago I spoke with my beautiful friends Igor and Rita Grossman who live in Melbourne and told them about our plans. And she added that it turns out that our daughter Sylvia also dreamed of a life in the countryside, and even more about having a goat. Yesterday I received a message from Rita - check your Pay Pal account and I find this there !!! I will try to add a video shooting of a house in the village to the story!   Сьогодні останній день травня 2022 року та завершення конракту

Life in Cape Town. Lego Exhibition.

  Lego exhibition. Our Benjamin, while he was little, was very fond of Lego. He built it always and it gave him a lot of pleasure. I also had to help him and I got a good experience from this, henceforth I could help all my grandchildren in assembling Lego objects. And Benya told me about his dream. He said he wanted to grow up, make a lot of money, and buy out the Lego company. And after he becomes its owner, give sets to all the children in the world! In my opinion, this is a wonderful desire, but as I now understand, you need to be very careful with your desires. After all, you know - they come true!   Виставка "Лего". Наш Бенжамін, поки був маленьким, дуже захоплювався лего. Він будував його завжди і це приносило йому море задоволення. Мені теж доводилося йому допомагати і я отримала від цього хороший досвід, надалі я могла допомагати всім моїм онукам у збиранні лего об'єктів. А Беня висловив свою мрію. Він сказав, що хоче вирости, заробити багато грошей та викупити к

Charlotte & Ben's life in Noordhoek.

  Kindergartens in Cape Town . When you move to another country, you always have to compare the standards of life in the environment you came from and the new things you encounter in your new life. I have experience visiting kindergartens in Odessa, Ukraine. And I can not say that it is completely positive. Everything was difficult and everything had to be solved by myself. Starting with the placement of children and ending with the relationship with leaders and educators. But I won't talk about it today. I'll just show you a photo of the holiday on the occasion of the end of the school year in Charlotte kindergarten. As I already said, Cape Towns are a closed people from communication. But socialization still took place, and in this way. Parents were invited to the celebration, they came with bedding and settled down on the lawn in front of the stage! Children gave a performance, and parents communicated both with each other and among themselves. We did not have much joy from

Life in Cape Town. African friends and our business meetings. 2015

  African friends and our business meetings. I already told you about a meeting with beautiful girls who were ready to create new exciting projects and offered me cooperation. In November 2014, Babalwa invited me to the final presentation of her project to create books for children that would popularize ancient African legends. I already made my illustrations and they were presented at this show. The presentation was held at the Business Academy. As I said, one of the winners was ready to receive non-repayable funding for his project. Our project took 2nd place and naturally did not receive funding. But we continued our work and the search for new ideas and sponsors. While visiting the Debbie Gallery in Sea Point, I met a woman who, as it turned out, was personally acquainted with Credo Mutwa. Her name was Ingrid. I decided to introduce the girls to her. Unfortunately today I can't remember Ingrid's last name and thus I won't be able to share links to her films with you. Bu
