Chris was sorting through the photos on his GoPro camera and rescued this batch we had taken before moving out of our beloved flat in Bar Beach. It's really funny seeing them after a whole year has passed since our big move.
I still miss our bedroom which was so bright and airy. When we lied in bed, we could hear the ocean and we were woken up with the wonderful sunshine pouring into the room every day. It was the most beautiful bedroom ever and our current one pales in comparison.
Of course, I also miss being so close to the ocean. How spoilt we were! To think that we could wake up, slip into our bathing suits, flick a towel over our shoulder and walk to the beach for a quick morning dip before heading to work. Amazing! And then, the endless walks I was able to take while Hugo slept in the pram, or the coffees by the beach after a difficult night. Although we no longer have the luxury of walking to the beach, we did once and enjoyed it thoroughly so no regrets.
On the other hand, the spaces seem so small to me now, and cramped. I know that they weren't but we are so spoilt for space in our current house that any normal sized room seems tiny to me now.
In any case, what a wonderful flat that was. I can't imagine a better way to start in a new city. We were very lucky indeed and seeing photos of the place will always make me feel a little nostalgic. I'm glad we took them.
And obviously, who would ever tire of photos of baby Hugo.

This apartment gets an A+ for location and layout. Only the shaking windows were a nuisance but the rest was a haven of serenity, nothing short of dreamy.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it is, already a year since your move to a magical house which is already full of fond memories.
