Yes - it's strange being in front of the camera instead of behind - I know which I prefer - it is very hard to pose and look "natural'ish" isn't it? It's the self conscious gene coming out and also the thought that "hope everyone doesn't think I'm vain". So I'm back behind the camera for now - I know my place!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-84724617053421157932012-08-29T00:19:55.039+01:002012-08-29T00:19:55.039+01:00I missed your posts, Sue!

Never been there.<br /><br />Loved seeing more of you and your family in this post. Your boys are so cute (by the way, those towels/bathrobes (?) your kids are wearing are fantastic, I mean the octopus and the frog... simply adorable). You look great in the pictures (and so does your Goddaughter, by the way). Love your summery, relaxed outfits as well as the souvenirs (I need a cool hat like that). <br /><br />Good luck with the laundry!

I did the same - well, kind of, I just checked my email to make sure our flat hasn't fallen to bits etc etc but I felt so much more refreshed without the constant demands of technology.<br /><br />It's so good to see you! It's never good to stand next to someone taller/thinner/younger but I think you're stylish enough to pull that off. I've never ever been to Rhodes. I hopped around a bit around Hydra, Santorini (like a movie set but don't scratch below the surface unless you want to be disappointed), Chios, Lesbos, Crete and a couple of others. I don't think I have the energy to do the same now.Chocolate Cookies & Candieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552211805778583838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-87276373070634964172012-08-28T13:45:32.812+01:002012-08-28T13:45:32.812+01:00Glad you had a wonderful time.

I think your travelling with kids will only get easier from now on!<br /><br />Glad I inspired you in some way. I'm very sure you could pull off a version of my trilby! ;-)<br /><br />steph / <a href="http://absolutely-fuzzy.com" rel="nofollow">absolutely-fuzzy.com</a>Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660924707697137751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-63167201250065038392012-08-27T22:20:44.209+01:002012-08-27T22:20:44.209+01:00Thank you Avril - that's really kind!

Any more and it could have been a very different outcome which doesn't bear thinking about. You're not wimps - you're a parent with every right to feel nervous about travelling with kids - it's not for the faint hearted.<br /><br />I did want to let everyone know about going off on my hols but I couldn't get round the faulty router so I just disappeared - I wasn't as organised as you arranging posts for whilst you're away - I couldn't even manage a packing post!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-22361117563639773272012-08-27T22:13:49.856+01:002012-08-27T22:13:49.856+01:00Hello ALLO.

I still don't even know your first name though I've been following you for a little while - I hope you had good hols too - more stylish than mine evidently!<br /><br />Absolute pleasure to read your blog and comment - I like your picks or I wouldn't say anything and it's nice to get a view from someone who works in fashion. <br /><br />The trip to NYC should be amazing. I wish I could go again - I wore 2 coats and a big deerstalker hat when I went for a Valentines weekend several years ago. I'd like to go again when the temperatures are more .... temperate .... but not as temperate as Greece!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-3168462380616274202012-08-27T22:08:37.501+01:002012-08-27T22:08:37.501+01:00Greece is obscenely hot at the moment!

And though we are close to everything around Europe, we've done as little travelling with kids as possible until now.<br /><br />Oh and thanks to your post where you had a black Zara jumper and khaki shorts - I finally found a way to wear my black cotton shirt with my khaki shorts on holiday (as in above photo). I told my God daughter to take all pictures above the waistline though ... so you can't see my shorts (I know, I'm a bit of a lost cause).<br /><br />I've just seen your trilby in your latest post - now that's a trilby! Now that would make people on my school run talk and gossip!

Love the outfits and the hats...and the pink sunnies too! Glad the journey wasn't too tortuous - we've not holidayed abroad in 4 years as we're too scared to bring 3 kids on a long flight. Wimps :) Have a great week and don't be going away like that again now...at least without warning us!

Must be good being so close to everything around Europe! Love the trilby you picked up. Had the same problem last year packing my hats, ended up stuffing it with clothes and making a hole in my suitcase to drop it in and it miraculously unpacked just fine ;)<br /><br />Steph / <a href="http://absolutely-fuzzy.com/" rel="nofollow">absolutely-fuzzy.com</a>Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660924707697137751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-49885593718753749102012-08-27T00:09:10.436+01:002012-08-27T00:09:10.436+01:00My boys won't wear anything other than trilbys...My boys won't wear anything other than trilbys but I'm not complaining as I think they look cute in them despite it being much easier to stuff baseball caps in my bag. <br /><br />I was apprehensive about flying with George .... but I lived to tell the tale .... and it had a happy ending.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-48992820128856669512012-08-27T00:06:41.303+01:002012-08-27T00:06:41.303+01:00I love the trilby too - though I had to carry it a...I love the trilby too - though I had to carry it all the way back as I couldn't bear thinking of squeezing it in to a case.

The Longchamp-esque bags were nice but not nice enough. When I was younger, I may have fallen for it's charms in Greece but now I want a real one and then it's going to be hard choosing which colour and which size too. I was always perusing them in the airport shops several years back but never got round to buying one when I should have ... now I just keep thinking ... I should have bought one.....<br /><br />By the way - I think I almost prefer the English drizzle to the Greece sunshine. It was just sooooo hot and I don't do hot very well if at all. I was just hot, sweaty and shiny which is not a good look. Pink porky pig is how you feel out there.

If you have one, load it up with movies or tv programs that your child loves so they have it on tap for watching when they hit the boredom button on the plane. Put games on it which are age appropriate and which can they handle. Both my boys love playing car parking games (I don't understand it either) but it keeps them entertained and the parents happy. Also, I keep a little small tub of miniature cars for George in my bag which I pull out in restaurants and this keeps him occupied for a while too. Basically - try anything legal.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-44612564657044047082012-08-26T22:18:59.586+01:002012-08-26T22:18:59.586+01:00Looks like you had a lovely time together!
