In just a few minutes, we’ll be leaving for the airport to pick up our eldest granddaughter Tamsyn, who is flying down from Johannesburg to spend the weekend with us. We’re so excited to see her again. She has exciting times ahead, as next week she flies to New York to spend time with our son and his family. In September she will begin her university studies at university in England.
I remember when she was just a sweet little tot.
Now she’s grown somewhat, but her love of dancing has never waned.
I wonder if she’ll be able to teach me some of these moves.
We’re going to have lots of fun, and on Sunday evening we’re going to see the ‘Madame Zingara’ show which is on in Durban. Some of you may remember this pic which I took when we went to the Johannesburg show last year. If you did see it, you’ll definitely remember. 🙂
Happy weekend to you all.

Ah, but can she hula hoop or play the piano? 🙂
Well maybe not piano, but I’m sure she can hula hoop. 🙂
You never know – maybe not. That is a skill which doesn’t only depend on being fit and lissom!
Time does fly, but I am amazed by how little you have changed Sylvia! And it seems like your gorgeous granddaughter has no bones in her body!!! 🙂
Thanks, Madhu. Yes, she seems to be made of rubber. 🙂
You’re related to a princess? !!! 😉
So where’s my tiara? 🙂
👑
Wow ! What a talented granddaughter ! So when are you going to show us you doing that impossible position Sylvia (centre of the three) 😉 Oh boy ! 😀 ❤
Thanks so much, Ralph. I still have to perfect that pose, so don’t hold your breath. 🙂
I didn’t really expect you to that Sylvia. Mind you it’s a great way to stop two houses falling down 😉 ❤
Oh my, I was NEVER that flexible! I hope you had an excellent weekend and I wish her the best in her studies. I loved my Psychology courses (though I’m a sociologist). 🙂
Thanks, Lorna. I was also never that flexible, although when I was a baby, I’m sure I could put my big toe in my mouth. 😀
I suppose I was, too…although I was a chunky baby, so I’d have to check with my mom about that! 😉
Amazing moves! 🙂 happy weekend with your lovely granddaughter.
Thanks so much, Imelda. We’re having a great weekend. Just about to leave for the show. 🙂
I love it Sylvia
Thanks, Jake. 🙂
Lovely granddaughter ..Times flies and before we know our grandchildren go to university.
Thank you. Yes, you’re so right. Time really does fly by. 🙂
Have a happy weekend with your special visitor!
Thanks, Paula. xx
how wonderful body awareness…i hope, she can keep up with her dancing…
Thanks, Sirpa. I’m sure she will. 🙂
Goodness she puts herself in incredible positions! Have a lovely weekend 🙂
Yes, I also think she’s so incredible. Happy weekend to you too, Gilly. 🙂
I’m sure by now you’ll have had a lovely catch up with your grand daughter Sylvia … and all the rest of the weekend’s fun to look forward to 🙂
Thanks, Poppy. Yes, we’re enjoying her company very much, and are off up the hill to see her great granny today. 🙂
Is this the same granddaughter you remarked on on my blog the other day? I wasn’t that flexible even when I was her age! Have a wonderful visit!
Yes, the very same. We’re having a great weekend together. 🙂
I would not call that she has grown somewhat. I think she has grown a lot and has become a young lady now.
Yes, you’re so right, YC. She’s so delightful to be with. 🙂
And here I thought I had wiped that last image from my mind… 😉 Perhaps a warning next time you decide to post it. I’m STILL trying to get over the fingernails. 😉
Ooops! 😳 I clean forgot how sensitive you are, Gunta. You really shouldn’t have reminded me about the fingernails. 😆
Actually, I will now replace both of those visuals with those of your beautiful and talented granddaughter. That should certainly do the trick! It seems your family just overflows with talent and grace.
😀
Love seeing the photographs of your granddaughter Silvia – wonderful times ahead.
Thanks so much, Mary. 🙂
wishing you wonderful time with Tamsyn, Sylvia 🙂 amazing photos of her! yes, i do remember the picture 🙂
Thanks, Lola. How could one forget THAT picture? 😀
Tamsyn looks like Jennifer Aniston in that second wonderful photo 🙂
Yes, I do see the resemblance, Sarah. 🙂
I’m looking forward to the photos of you dancing, Sylvia. Have a lovely weekend.
Don’t hold your breath, Carol. 🙂
She looks quite F~L~E~X~I~B~L~E! Enjoy the visit.
Thanks, Nancy. I’m sure we will. 🙂
Ohh how special , and what wonderful photos. I don’t know how they bend like that;))) enjoy your visit.
Thanks so much, Kathy. 🙂
Enjoy your visit with your granddaughter, Sylvia. Those poses look painful…I won’t be trying those at home. 🙂 The show looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks, Geralyn. I also won’t be trying them. The show that we saw last year was absolutely fabulous 🙂
I’m glad your granddaughter is going to keep up dancing , while studying at the university! She’s so cute and looks so talented !
Lovely photos, really!
Thanks so much. 🙂
Have a marvellous time with her! Those are some amazing photos of her. Can you say flexible?
Thanks, Sue. She is very flexible indeed. 🙂
Enjoy this looks so exciting and your granddaughter is amazing!
Thanks, Ute. Yes, I’m sure we’re going to have lots of fun.
Wonderful! Your granddaughter is amazing-she must be very talented. Enjoy!
Thanks so much, Lisa. 🙂
Enjoy the time with your granddaughter, Sylvia! She’s beautiful and she’s certainly got the moves. 🙂
Thanks so much, Jill. We’re having fun already. 🙂
I do the same poses as granddaughter twice a day. … 😉 … NOT … enjoy the visit, but I didn’t think I would ever see the Madame Zingara photo every again.
Yes, I’m sure you do, Frank. 🙂 The photo of the mankini man is too good not to use again. 🙂
… and again and again.
Exciting times ahead indeed for Tamsyn. Enjoy your weekend together Sylvia! 🙂
Thanks so much, Adrian. 🙂
Some of those dance moves/positions look impossible! Have a lovely weekend with her.
Yes, I know what you mean, Elaine. I couldn’t even contemplate these contortions. 🙂
sempre divertente e trasgressiva! ma la tua nipotina è un piccolo angelo!
kissesssssssssssss
Hahaha. Glad you enjoyed, Annalisa. 🙂 xx
Looks like a wonderful weekend ahead. Will your talented granddaughter be continuing her dancing at University?
She’s going to study Psychology, but I’m sure she’ll find a way to keep up with her dancing.
Excellent.
