Another Grey Weekend in London

The weather in London has been miserable lately—grey, cold, and wet. So, we’ve been making the most of it by enjoying some cozy, quality time at home with Chiara.

Another weekend, another birthday! Saturday was Luka’s turn, with a safe and fun indoor kids’ party. On Sunday, we finally braved the outdoors—but stayed close to home—to let Chiara test out her rapidly improving walking skills at the park. 🚶‍♀️🌳

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 28-70mm – 1/60s f/3.2, ISO 640 (flash) – Luka was not fast enough to blow his birthday candles, so someone else took the spot. Not sure about the mood Black and White conversion gives to this picture, but it was definitely a joyful moment.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 28-70mm – 1/200s f/2.8, ISO 250 – Chiara running in Normand Park. Her coat is slightly too long, we did realise but it means we don’t need to put her gloves. Her favourite walking game seems to be going in the exact opposite direction we ask her to go to.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 28-70mm – 1/250s f/2.8, ISO 250 – Chiara on a swing, a more controlled activity for us as at least we know where she is heading to, no need to chase her up.
