Last Saturday I was blessed with a visit from Johanna & Simon Keogh who arrived with three dazzlingly beautiful dakinis (plus an old friend Azlan Mustapha who now lives in KKB). It was Azlan who first brought Johanna & Simon to Magick River in 1994, a few days before I relocated to the High Hut. Since then I had only seen Johanna & Simon once, when their firstborn Ella was about three months old. What a treat to meet them again and be introduced to their terrific twins, Sofia & Hanna (4), and to say 'Ello to Ella (now 9). The Keoghs are indeed a noble, creative, loving and absolutely photogenic family. I commemorate the Keoghs' all-too-brief visit with this photo album dedicated to enduring friendship!

Sculptor & KKB resident Azlan Mustapha must be credited with
introducing Johanna & Simon Keogh to Magick River in 1994... |
 |
| Ella, Queen of the Jungle: she took to the river like an otter! |
 |
At 9 Ella seems the most level-headed member
of the Keogh family (her mum says Ella always knows best!) |
 |
| Here's Ella hamming it up as the Dangdut Queen of Pertak. |

| Hanna frolics in the river while Daddy naps on a rock. |
 |
Sofia the skeptic doubts I could ever do her beauty justice
with my dinky Sony Cybershot. |

| Sofia nibbles on a chocolate biscuit with regal nonchalance. |
 |
Johanna is one incredibly lovely mum...
she grew up near the Assunta Hospital in PJ. |
 |
| Simon & Johanna are both architects. They live in Dublin, Ireland. |
 |
| Johanna, Hanna & Ella. |
 |
| Johanna was born a Varghese and has a sister named Sharmin. |
 |
| Life is but a dream but how sweet it is... |

Simon leans back and puts his foot up.

A classic facebook profile pic: Simon Keogh,
architect extraordinaire! |
 |
| Simon & Sofia do a daddy & daughter pose... |
 |
| A very happy daddy indeed! |
 |
| This could be Sofia the Raghead Doll - ain't she a babe? |
 |
| Hanna always has a ready smile for the camera... |
 |
| Dakini in a bikini - or rockdancing raver? |
 |
| Go, Hanna, go! |
 |
| Those eyes can get away with just about anything! |
 |
| Hmmm...what havoc will Hanna Keogh wreak in 13 years? |
