I think I like you.

August 13, 2011

Meet Trudy, a complete charmer. Day one, shortly after first meeting, she declared out of nowhere “I think I like you”, and by the end of day two, a very sleepy little girl followed it up with, “did I like you yesterday?… because I think I still do”. Oh how I love the refreshingly simple, honest minds of children, if only we could keep this view on life as adults I think we’d all be so much more content. Adorable.

Cwtch

December 29, 2010

Cwtch (pronounced cutch) is a well used and loved Welsh word for giving someone an affectionate hug. I had never really spent any quality time in Wales prior to this November.
