Working from Home

08h30 this morning, and all 3 'kids' are working in the kitchen. Mhairi and Ed at the table, Alexander at the breakfast bar. Changed days indeed.

The picture on the wall behind Mhairi is a pen and ink drawing of our house in Croissy Sur Seine, now sold. It's a lovely reminder of times gone by. The bottle of wine on the table amused me - the leftovers from last night.

Such a common sight these days.

I had a cousin called, Mhairi, and of course in the south of NZ there were a lot of scotsmen who settled there. Nice and clear B&W...concentration - familiar!

[Joan Robillard]

It is a new world

[Judith Johnson]

What a great shot and story, love the mono effect

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Islandgirl]

Great b&w!

[Diana]

Such a fabulous shot, my daughter has also been working since she arrived a week ago. Hopefully for the last time today.

[Margaret Brown]

A sign of the times! They look very into whatever they are doing.

[eDorre]

Grand shot for concentration

[Renee Salamon]

Great capture - it’s a familiar scene

[Sally Ings]

Very nice candid capture

[Taffy]

What a wonderful cozy scene!

[Pat Knowles]

You have 3 ‘kids’. I thought you had two….how lovely to have all three home fir Christmas. They would be glad to see each other!
Lovely family capture…..very industrious for that time of the morning!
Left over wine…they did well!

[Christina]

Great shot - reality for many households now.

[Mary Siegle]

Nice candid scene. Even if they are each doing their own work, I imagine it’s nice for them to sit in semi-companionship with their siblings.

[Tunia McClure]

The kitchen is always the best place to work in the winter.

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat that made me smile, Pat. I do only have the two, but Ed is Mhairi’s boyfriend, who’s come to be with us for Christmas. It’s the first time we’ve met him. He’s a lovely lad.

[Gosia]

Our son came for Christmas from Perth but worked for a week leading to this weekend.

[Corinne C]

A nice portrait of your children. Very nice in B&W

[Phil Howcroft]

Testing out your broadband issi

[Kathy A]

Such a typical shot when children are concerned

[Kathy]

Hopefully they were just surfing the net and not having to work on their Christmas break. I know you're glad to have them there, no matter if they are working or playing. A cozy kitchen shot.

[Milanie]

How nice to have them together doing their own thing but together - the b&w seems to convey that feeling to me

[Sarah Bremner]

The benefits of online wiorking. Nice to actually be together in the same place when their working day is over.
Enjoy the days.

[Wylie]

Certainly pros and cons to being able to work anywhere now. On balance, I think its worked well for me :) (with or without the wine)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is fun shot- lots of interesting bits there- I find it interesting that your daughter is wearing a New York City Police Department sweatshirt and there's a fur coat (?) of some sort draped over the chair!

[Issi Bannerman]

@olivetreeann Funny what people notice in a candid photo. The 'fur coat' is just a 'faux sheepskin' which I have draped on the back of that seat to make it more comfortable for my dad! Daughter's t-shirt is one she found in her drawer here, very old, but bought in New York when we visited together many moons ago! :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

@phil_howcroft That's for sure, and it's coming up wanting! Ha ha!
