Happy 2018!

On this first day of 2018, I wish you a Very Happy New Year full of Peace, Love and Joy!
I wish you all the best!  Looking more for the inside instead of just thinking of the outside.
What are our priorities? What are we expecting from life? Can we make our dreams come true? And what about the others dreams, could we help somehow ...

Tromso

I have been in Tromso, in Norway,this month of December, for holidays. It is an amazing place, a dream come true in the middle of the magical snow.


                                    



It was absolutely wonderful. It was snowing on the first day. We visited Polaria, which is a very interesting Arctic museum. They showed us a movie about Northern Lights that was very well done and observed the seal feeding. We also visited the Polar museum about the History of the region and also about the ecological view of North Pole.

Next day we went to the Arctic cathedral and went to the cable car and went to the top of the mountain. It was a moment of peace and beauty that was unique.

In the evening, we were playing domino and received an alert. Northern Lights ! Dancing in the sky during a few minutes. I couldn't believe in such a moment of luckiness. They were green and purple!  But they disappeared ... Husky excursion and Northern lights again, but less visible on the next day, but puppies were awesome and also the tomato fish soup . They gave us also an unbelievable chocolate cake.

Arctic cruise on the next morning on the fjords was a really  surprising trip. We went on a boat that was an ancient ambulance in 1978.   Our hosts were Maria and the Captain and they were very nice. Maria made a fish soup for us.
I was a little frightened when we came back because there was a storm. And the Captain told us that he didn't cross  such a storm almost 30 years ago... Waves passed above us and the boat started to break in pieces. Happily we arrived well on the harbour.

I loved Tromso and hardly suggest this town for holidays.

La la Land

This movie which was nominated for the oscars is a true surprise! Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were fantastic.
This movie is excelĺent! I was conquered by the marvellous musical of the moment. It has an inspiring soundtrack, very good actors, a love story that you have to see.
The last scene is so nice- how it could be and how it is and that last look between them has a significance that synthetizes all the meaning of the argument.

Fishers beach

This is one of my favourite beaches in one really known surf  spot in Ericeira, Portugal.  It is so handsome and peaceful. Even in winter it has a turquoise water under a marvellous sun. Ok it is true that the water is cold but for our eyes it is even better because it is so calm without a lot of people inside...

A new pillow at my living room

Last weekend I went to Ikea and I bought two of these very nice pillows with animals and flowers with a lot of colours. They add so much life to my living room. It helps to create an atmosphere of comfort. I think we have to put both time and and energy into creating an uplifting home...

Sun!!!

Hello everyone! Sun is so important for me! Life under the light of sun is the happiest that I know. Going for a walk on the beach, having lunch on the terrace and feeling the warmthness of the light in our faces and our bodies. During winter this is really awesome; it is an excellent feeling. Do you know when this photo was taken? During the month of january. Where? Comment on my blog and subscribe!

Hey let's colour nice books as this one!

These days everyone talks about colouring as an anti-stress activity . It is true that in our daily life it is really difficult to find some time for relaxing, but it is really important to stop and reset. Colouring is a very special hobby and it reminds me of my childhood. This book is full of beautiful images concerning original designs from Cath Kidston- boat, strawberry, button rose, teatime,patchwork antique rose bouquet, candy flowers, squirrels, chelsea flowers, kitchen scene, little birds among others.
