It's nearly two weeks since we returned from Finland and we have been busy sorting out our new apartment. Now that the walls have been painted (thanks Ville!) and the windows perfectly reveal the view of boats on the Bosphorus (ummm thanks again to Ville!) I have had the chance to look through some of the pictures I took in Finland. I wanted to find pictures of Neve just before she became the independent speed walker she turned into during our weeks away. The days where she still needed a hand to hold and her siblings stepped up. I also chose some pictures of a day at the beach with Ville's brother's family and some of my favourite memories of Turku, Kimito and the boat journey through the Archipelago to Sweden.

I have only taken a couple of pictures of our new place, one of them of a little bowl from Finland, but I have been walking around noting (gleefully) the shifts of light through its windows. Whether we live here one year or five I know that we will treasure this time and that I will love capturing frames of it, but for the moment I just want to watch the shadows and imagine. Though we have mainly been pre-occupied with organising, Ruskin and I did have a great day on the rooftops of Istanbul where James Bond rode his motorbike at the beginning of 'Skyfall'. We bought some fake Ray-bans and I took some moody shots of Fox, Ruskin Fox!
