Girls are back in town

Radhika was 17 this week so with Kaveri back for a skating race we made Sunday into an extra celebration.

Happy Birthday

Radhika B Radical

Skating and school was tiring
Radical’s fiancée did the honours and it now lives in what’s fast becoming Kaveri and Radhika’s room at the BnB
In my role as one of Kaveri’s extra mums I’m finding the best moisturiser.

Kaveri grows fast.

I’m back in Mysore

To meet my queens (both sets)

What’s one of the first things they want to do on my return?

Go for a walk

After a lovely time in Italy with Maria

With plenty of lovely food …

They want pizza….

And presents

and to watch the movies…

I’m so lucky to have them in my life…

My Indian sister.

Radhika called round with a gift

It’s a special day (Raksha Bandhan) when sisters give a bracelet known as a Rakhi

It symbolises brotherly love and a promise of protection, bringing good fortune.

I broke my no-sweet-things rule.

Radhika is Kaveri’s auntie but they’re really like sisters.

I’ve got to know Radhika quite well over the past year, especially during the school holiday when she came with Kaveri and I for swimming, skating and often stayed at the BnB.

Fresh from swimming

We’ve all been on holiday together to Kerala. Twelve of us, the first time and we’ll return in October with Kaveri, her mum Chandrika and Radhika. .

Radhika’s real brother gave her a giant pink teddy that’s now moved in here.

Radhika passed her exam this year, got a high-scorer award and is now at PUC- Pre-University College.

Award winner.
