I don’t expect these to make it back home. 2 – The lack of Coke in this country is ridiculous! Even if the fridge… Read More Random things (probably part 1)

We got the dresses for the wedding, now time for the bangles! But where to go? We went to the department store (Pothys – it has EVERYTHING) and there was so much choice! Luckily the friendly women there helped! 😊 They got many bangles of different colours and thicknesses, silver and a mid blue were… Read More Bangles shopping! ✨(By I)
