How it began

It all began on a bright spring day, just after the long stretch of COVID when our family of five finally reunited after what felt like forever. We came together to celebrate our dad, Gippa, turning 70 - grateful to be in the same place again, sharing stories, sunshine and the kind of laughter we’d missed for far too long.

The three of us “kids” (now well into our 40s) started jotting down childhood memories and grabbed the whiteboard for a bit of fun. One by one, we took turns drawing those old moments while Mum and Dad tried to guess what on earth we were attempting to sketch. We ended up laughing until we cried.

Something about revisiting those tiny, forgotten memories filled the room with so much joy that I couldn’t shake the feeling: this shouldn’t stay just ours. I wanted to bottle that magic and share it with others. I hope you enjoy "That time when..." as much as we did.
