The Journey Started

Kevin and Leila met each other outside Cyber Space on a 1st May, that is, workers day! Still don’t know why we chose this day for our first encounter! But it is a good date to remember forever!  We immediately started our first journey: a long walk in nature along the canal from Croy to Falkirk (about 20 Km/12.5 miles). 

It was a nice journey to get to know each other! For Leila it was a big effort to get used to Kevin’s English, or better say his Cumbrian accent. Kevin also sometimes couldn’t understand Leila’s Spanish accent! We also interchanged some Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Dutch words. Leila learned some nice English words from Kevin like “Broom”, those yellow flowers from gorse bushes with a very nice smell, the first English lesson she received from Kevin for free!

We took some photos of each other separately to keep them as our first memories, without being sure whether we would continue this journey of life together in future.

We had a visit to Falkirk Wheel and Kevin explained to Leila how boats were traveling through canals in olden times.

 

The journey was very enjoyable. It was also a competition between Kevin and Leila to see who gets tired earlier. But neither Kevin nor Leila gave up! Well, Kevin didn’t say he got tired but Leila took a photo of him as evidence, make your own judgment.

The whole journey took us something about 5 hours. It was a very nice way to know each other outside the cyber space! We really enjoyed it. At the end we decided to take a photo together using the self timer of the camera. After many tries here is the result, Kevin and Leila’s first photo together, and this is how our journey of life started to be more serious!

An Introduction to Each Other

This is our first entry of our blog, a pictorial calender of two "bichos raros" who came together through St. Google and decided to see life together. First of all we live apart but live together. Leila is from Iran and Kevin is from England but we live in Spain...and other places too. Perhaps we are a product of Cyber Space a different version of Second Life.

Kevin is a giant...Leila is a small Persian girl. We like to travel and enjoy folk-traditional music and we sometimes play  music together - Leila on piano and Kevin on what is available. We like to go sailing and walking in the nature, camping under the stars and enjoying Cyber Space which Leila is at home with. we have an ambition to live together...in the same country...and perhaps in the same town.

Here is our photo of us taken in the Border of Scotland near to a town called Annan. We had just finished sailing and were happy to have made it the 2 miles and anchor next to some excitable cows! The weather was typical British weather cold and cloudy...our summer in fact.

The cows woke us up at early morning by licking the boat, they had just been down to the sea to drink sea-water, so they must have identified the boat as a cow too! After we had woken up we had breakfast, which Leila enjoyed and felt very energetic afterwards...

 

Here is the picture of the local sea monster comming out to terrorise the little persian girl.
