Three pics from the early days of M&F:

They are actually from a BT article today, that is about how Mary first came to DK, but as the content is lifted from the book Under The Beam, there is nothing new.

I don't think either of them have changed that much all these years later.

Wow Muhler, what an amazing selection of photos you have collected here. Each one shows Vincent and Josephine'st connection to each other and speaks of the special joy being two halves of a whole while being two separate people.

Their contentment with each other really speaks to those who are finding life a bit of a grind at the moment and shows that time moves on but the important things stay the same. It's a wonderful illustration of the "now" we are living.

Small things like these photos 'inspirit' us, reassuring us that life marches on and we can either march with it or wander around pointlessly kicking stones and missing the sheer joie de vivre of it all. Covid sucks but that is the hand we have been all been dealt but we can take a lesson from this collection.

It is how we chose to live life that matters and each of these photos show that Vincent and Josephine are centred and even serene at times and that sparkle appears in one or the other's eye and sometimes both letting us know each photo is just a moment in time illustrated by two truly beautiful young souls who, when they are together, are more than the sum of the whole. They are twins and they are together. What a wonderful metaphor for living in the time of Covid . . . we need to rely on one another and take joy in what we have.

Ugh, I haven't had my morning coffee yet and my mind is waxing weirdly poetic but the photos are just so very stunningly evocative. Coffee now!

That was beautifully put. Most encouraging as well.
And just what is needed before going to bed in a not too distant future.

I think it's fun to look at them together even in portraits.

Josephine is theatrical, all over the place with loads of facial expressions.
While Vincent is the observer. - And we all know by now how good an observer he is!
Especially when he comes up with some truths from behind the stage.

Vincent is the boy who calls out: But he hasn't got any clothes on!

Well said Marg, you did very well for early morning. I adore little Prince Vincent. There is something about him that pulls at my heart strings.

Ha ha.

Many thanks Muhler for your choice of photos. Gives one a feel good moment to see them. Fred and Mary have produced a lovely little family.

So young they looked.

I recall Alexandra's first visit to Greenland, that was as a part of a summer cruise with the Regent Couple.
She looked at the modest looking houses in the hamlets they visited and clearly got the impression that it was a poor community. Then she was invited inside for coffee and noticed a huge B&Q television set in the living room.
While there certainly are Greenlanders with social issues, quite a few actually and who are poor.
Many Greenlanders are also affluent!

There are about 600 meters of roads and streets in and around the capital of Nuuk, but it ain't cheap Korean cars you are seeing driving the roads there!

The article is just blah-blah, but there are some good pics of Isabella. Especially with her grandpapa. She was his first granddaughter, so they had a special bond.

He is extremely good looking ‘normal human’…as in. It an actor whose looks pretty much puts them in the limelight. Does he take after his mother?

No. Both his parents were very attractive when they were young but Fred strongly favors his dad with the darker complexion and rounder face. Joachim is pretty much the genderflipped version of their mom.

Went looking for pictures. He is better looking than both of them. He does have his Dads face shape but his complexion isn’t really dark, it’s quite fair. At least when I hail from.
