Leith Mela, Edinburgh, 2015

What an amazing time we have had in Edinburgh this August as the city has played host to the world's largest Arts Festival.  This weekend Edinburgh also hosted the wonderful mela on Leith Links, which is right outside our apartment!

This year the Kids Zone was inspired by the monkey gods of Asia...

Malika and Ameenah loved hearing all the folktales on board the storytelling boat ....

And learning about all the different Hindu Gods at the Himalayan Centre tent...

And making these awesome moulds of Ganesha!

And learning about all kinds of lichen....

Which is right under our noses....

We also learned the art of the Chinese knot...

with the lovely Josephine...

And there's always time for fun with bubbles...

And such a fun family Hip-Hop class...

And delicious Indian food...

But my favorite performance of the weekend was from
La Otra Orilla- Moi & Les Autres....amazing flamenco all the way from Quebec x

Although Malika enjoyed the whole weekend...

This is Malika's new best friend Cheryl, who is from Goa in South India...they are in the same class at school and they live in our building...

And Sasha, Cheryl's little sister is adorable....

Such a great family x

The girls loved dancing to Bollywood music...

And seeing the lovely Kirsty...

And their new sparkly outfits x

What a fab weekend and thank you to all at the Leith Links Mela! We had a blast! xxx
