What are books but the easiest devices for time-travel, and telepathy and of course, armchair travelling. How lovely that Paris still has les Bouquinistes de la Seine, as living history, standing testament to all that and so much more. Sundays are for long walks around the neighbourhood 🚶🏾‍♀️dressed impeccably of course! 🧥 Hope you have a super end of the weekend 👯‍♀️ Sometimes the only things you need to get your day from good to blissful, are a mug of coffee ☕️ and good company 👯‍♀️ and a gorgeous 💗 Parisian sky. The last one is indispensable 🥰😂. Happy Friday! Now that days are starting to warm up again, hope you are enjoying the outdoors once more. Okay I definitely am 😅! When the lights come on in the city of light 💡. It is no secret that the epithet of ‘City of Light’ was given to Paris because it was among the first European cities to use gas street lamps back in the 1860, but its lovely how a technical fact translates into a poetic metaphor 🕯️. Cloudy with a chance of either rain 🌧️ or an amazing sunset ☀️. Its sortof like a metaphor for life no? You have to trawl through the uncertainties to know if you’ll make it or not. Like, choosing a new road and not knowing where it ends up! Lucky for me, this cloudy day did end in an amahzing sunset. Wish you many exciting choices ahead in February 🧡. Parisian evenings sometimes feel like being in a movie set 🫠. I’m sharing this November sunset in January hoping it reminds you how fast time goes and while we are shivering in the cold ❄️January winds, Spring 🌸is not far behind. Slow life in Mallorca. Far from its reputation as a party-island, Mallorca exemplifies slow life in winter. The sun is still warm, the waters pristine and an endless possibility of ocean vistas, walks and hikes await you if you love slow-island life. Stages of an unforgettable sunset. Wouldn’t you want to stop too and just get lost in this light? 👀. Found the most magical sunset of my life in 📍Banyalbufar off the side of a winding road that has the gorgeous Tramuntana mountains on one side and the Mediterranean sea on the other.
