Fun and Games

It is wonderful living with our host family and the little girl is just learning to talk. After much encouragement we finally got a ‘hello’ from her today.


Everyone cycles here. Kids manage adult bikes. It’s amazing how many people can be squeezed onto one bike too. Planks of wood are attached to the back wheel as additional seats for tiny tots!

We had a BBQ with some of the older people in the village today, complete with games. Old Moldovan ladies playing Jenga is just priceless! Great to see them actually having fun. The men in the village are also taking rounders very seriously. It's wonderful to see them so animated.

Being with the kids both at the holiday clubs and round the village is a joy. When else do you have an excuse to do the ‘Birdie Song’ and have water fights! It’s all a bit surreal but certainly not 9 to 5 at the office.
