Wordless: five boys in a coffee shop
Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while will know about the Midgley family – with their five boys – in Madagascar. We visited the only decent coffee shop in the capital city on Monday. Perfect for a wordless post.

They called me weed
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.
Gorgeous boys!
Excellent – Say Hi to Kim and Sue!
Will do, Keith… Much love…
Holy cow! Nice! Bet it was the yummiest too. LOVE the photos.
Too cool for the camera, such disdain in their expressions
bet they have a very lively household. I love how intent they are with the straws, looks like a yummy drink they are sharing
Drool-worthy! And those boys are such cuties. I love the little chocolatey fingers in the last image.

Typical teenager already got the hood over the eye! Love the way the one eye just peaks out. Awesome pics as usual Rob
Enjoyed these photographs! What lens did you use?
I used two lenses – the Nikkor 105m Micro and 70-200mm f2.8, both wonderful for portraits.
The color are awesome! You make such good use of the bright pink.
Love E’s expression (pout) in the first photo.
The boys are growing up too quickly.
Thanks for the pics and please send lots of love to the family!
They leave me almost wordless too, with a lump in the throat … Great pics for posterity, Uncle Rob!
I thought it was called a coffee shop Uncle Rob! And on the sign it was written: Cookie Shop!
Man Uncle Rob, Take better care next time!

Thanks for pointing that out Bianca. Please come to the house in the afternoon so that I can give you a good wrestle – I think you need it! You see, the coffee shop is called the “Cookie Shop” and the “Cookie Shop” is a coffee shop. That’s just the way it is!
Hi Rob, Have just returned from London with stacks of pics of our famliy there so was THRILLED to have a fantastic new set of our precious boys in Mada. Wish you were there permanently as then we could look forward to a weekly set! Hope you haven’t had health problems while you’ve been there. When are you coming to the sea? Remember: “Dis lekker by die see!” Love and God bless, Jean & Louis.
I like the pictures so much. I love hanging out in coffee shops too.
