Luce and Theo are twins. They share a room because they want to. At home they always have to know where the other one is. And what they are each up to. When we’re out and about they follow each other. But neither one is the leader. Actually neither one will let the other be leader.
As A.A. Milne wrote in the poem “Us Two” in Now They are Six (which they are):
So wherever I am, there’s always Pooh,
There’s always Pooh and Me.
“What would I do?” I said to Pooh,
“If it wasn’t for you,” and Pooh said, “True,
It isn’t much fun for One, but Two
Can stick together,” says Pooh, says he.
“That’s how it is,” says Pooh.
And today I managed to catch them giving each other a hug.
Which they don’t often do despite being twins and always “Us Two.”

Such lovely light in these – really lovely natural photos – the bets kind to have x
Kriss says
Thank you Annie – that’s a lovely compliment especially from you.
Lucy says
Oh I just love this post. Everything about it is beautiful. The relationship, the poem, and the photos are stunning. How lovely that they are so close. My two share a room and love it, I think we’ll have a tough time convincing them to have their own rooms when we move house.
And that last photo gave me goosebumps. I love the tenderness of that hug and that light it gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining in with Siblings. x

Thank you Lucy! My two insisted on sharing a room when we moved last year!

Such beautiful photos and yes, being a Mum to twins is amazing. Although my two live 400 miles away from one another they still have to get in touch every day – it’s a twin thing. I’m sure Luce and Theo will stay close forever too x
