Medias – family and home town

June 1, 2016 By Amber Hatcher Leave a Comment

Lunch in Medias

Medias is a small town where Alex spent most of his school days and his family home is here, as are some relatives. We timed our journey today to arrive here in time to pick up Alex's brother from school to take him with us to Cluj where we will visit the salt mines on the next day. Our lunch was at a large restaurant situated at the top of a hill, next to a wooded nature reserve. Today I ordered the stuffed cabbage as this is the first time I see it on the menu. I was surprised Alex did not ...

The BEST Parents’ Evening Ever!

March 2, 2016 By Amber Hatcher 2 Comments

David school trip

Last night has to be the BEST Parents' Evening Ever! Last night I came out of David's school feeling absolutely euphoric. Now, this is my second son - the cheeky, jokey one who talks too much in class. He has always done pretty well academically. The issue has always been his smart-arse talk in class. He plays the joker too much, delighting his classmates but frustrating his teachers. There has been times when I have come out of the teachers' meetings feeling that they had been dredging ...

Happy Mothers Day

When my mother was alive, I had to keep track of 2 lots of Mother's Days. Mothering Sunday in the UK in March or April and the American influenced Mother's Day in May, which is the date that most countries in Asia would celebrate this special day. In the UK the date is set on the fourth Sunday of Lent and is exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday. So every year, without fail, I would have bought a Mother's Day card in March and come May, I would have been frantically looking for the card ...

On being brave and starting a new journey

On being brave and starting a new journey

I love this Mark Twain quote. It encompasses my philosophy in life now - to live a life with no regrets and to dream and explore. For many years, I have not allowed myself to truly dream of my deepest desires. Life was busy with bringing up children and working full time, juggling finances and worrying about the household tasks. The proverbial juggling of too many balls in the air. And one day, I "woke up" and realised that I could not recall how the last ten years of my life had gone by. ...

Do more of what makes you happy

Do more of what makes you happy

  This is one of my many intentions for this special year of my life. Many of the 50 items in my Bucket List will indeed be things that I wish to do more of to make me happy. I have previously lived my life day by day going through the motions of working, cleaning, cooking, sorting out the boys and all the minutiae of running a home and family. And time just flew by and I had no recollection of how the years have gone by. Now I am more mindful about my days - I choose to create ...
