Here we are - all cheese rind and half of the bread rind goes to Castor now!

And off she is
Can your see Ella Tili? Mama obviously has been looking into her computer, and Castor fell asleep on duty!

United mothers
This Iranian tourist insisted on a picture with Ella and myself, while I then wanted one with her, too. She was very hesitant to sit down, because under my feet lays Castor! However the whole family was charming.
A big red snapper
It's been a big red snapper she caught today, before making new friends in the swimming pool!

Sami Scarecrow
Grandmother Janet has been knitting Sami Scarecrow from scratch, and despite the colder climate he comes from, Ella obviously decided that he likes to be covered for an afternoon nap in the Indian Ocean breeze!
Sandras rubber egg
It did not take Ella long to find out that when she squeezes the rubber egg a little chicken comes out squeking! And then as all other things, it has to be done at least a hundred times, or until Mama takes the bloody egg away again!
She is going to be a great chef - Sie wird bestimmt eine gute Koechin
To stir in big pots and putting all her love into the one menu is what she works on hard with a wooden spoon almost the size of her!Ella Tili's Best 12. February 2008
Big rains have reached Dar es Salaam, and it cools down nicely some nights - as Ella removes any cover at night, she is back into her Swiss pijamas!

Kubeba
Mama is trying hard to carry Ella the African way, but for the time being Lucy is still a lot better at it! It is called "kubeba" and the way the African continent all over people live their first years of life: carried on mother's backs!
Simple Pleasures
There could hardly be something more important than the simple pleasure to have a cup of coffee early morning overlooking the Indian Ocean - with little Ella in the cloth.
Push ups on her knees a hundred times!
Yesterday on her knees and hands, today on her feet and hand! Comes the day soon when she will stand up!
Looking like Papa, but sleeping like Mama
They say it is biological that babies look like their fathers, and everybody addresses Ella like little lady Andrew. However when she falls asleep on her belly, she truly is Mama.

Gotte Anet
Godmother Anet with Tim has been visiting mid December, doing a pilgrimage back to good old riding grounds, and looking forward to head out into the Jura wilderness with at least four horses!
Gotte Anet mit Tim hat uns Mitte Dezember besucht, auf einer Pilgerreise in alte Reitgruende. Beide koennen wir es kaum erwarten, bald vier Pferde zu satteln!
Happy Birthday to Nonna and Farewell to H4 2. January 2008
After five wonderful months in Switzerland, which brought us from three to four, and a new home in the Jura mountains we celebrated Nonna's birthday and our farewell in Tamerlan, our loft in an old watch factory, that we have acquired in late November 2007. It is a wonderful place to cook for great parties, head out into nature, and then warm up in the sauna again!
