The Georgians told us that this time the winter was very mild and that we missed it all...also mentioned that our timing of arrival was perfect as the winter was ending and spring was approaching...yeah!!!!
That reminds me of all the books I've read of European authors which always contained of lovers bringing spring flowers and kids picking the first flowers of the season for their mothers'...how sweet and nice sometimes life is???we tend to forget...
But did i tell you that the first experience for us of this mild winter was getting out of the Tbilisi airport at 7.30pm into the teeth chattering and skin biting cold air...where did the mild part of the winter go...
But yet i'm alive and still surviving..i miss the sun and the warmth of home and the dreadful yet rhythmic cranking of my ceiling fan at home, but when i think about it...i'm settling in to appreciate the coldness...the chilly nights clutching notebooks and steamy coffee...studying the nights away...
well obviously our stock of essential food ran out and had to set out another trip to Wagsal..this time alone...:S...hehe...
it was HOLIDAY at uni..yeppi...but we didn't know why??we thought is was a Georgian Holiday!!
And we set off...
We were greeted by fresh HUGE red roses, Carnations, Huge Gerber-as(is this how you spell it), Gorgeous Tulips and Wild flowers....
We were in Paradise...there were bunches and bunches of them for sale on the roadside...
Then the bright idea clicked me..Georgians are celebrating the Spring..the FIRST spring flowers have poped out...
all along the way we "AAAAHHH"ed and "OOOOHHH"ed at the flowers..seeing little kids buy flowers..husbands and men buying flowers...
That made me want to buy flowers....because i'm such a flowers person..after bugging the guys for around an hour we got them to buy us flowers..lol...
and we went home happy as honey birds hands laden with wild flowers...
when we wet home and some Seniors came to give us some books one saw our vase full of flowers and exclaimed!!!
"ooohhhhh how sweet did you buy flowers ????are you gonna mail a picture to your mum...sooo sweet of you all to celebrate Georgian mothers Day...."
WHAT???/
So00 like me.lol.the flowers were not for spring but for mothers day!!!!ooops....
and the guys bought us flowers...disaster...but the livable kind..
and then there was all of us skype calling our mothers to tell them how much they mean to us..and how they alway enlighten our lives..
This Blog is dedicated to you Amma..i love you to death and miss you loads..and mostly i miss our times and our moments and our crazy things....which i always play in mind when ever i feel like i'm far away from you...
