Travelling to other cities…

Autumn in Glasgow…

Autumn is very beautiful in Glasgow. The leaves on the chestnut trees take the most amazing colors and it is such a joy to visit the beautiful Botanic Gardens. I like to take a walk in the Botanics every day watching the squirrels run across my path with their feather light tails, look at the extraordinary colors of the leaves and take it all in as if it was a big painting of a great artistic.

How does your city look in autumn?

PARIS, Travel

All things Parisian…

I have decided to do this every month (hopefully I will not disappoint you!). It will be a collection of things that inspire me done in a way that I would like to see on my wall. A wall that would put a smile on my face every time I saw it! This is a first time and I decided to collect things that bring me a feel of Paris.
  • Vintage Photo: “The kiss by Hotel de Ville” (1950) by Robert Doisneau
  • Balenciaga Perfume Advert
  • Paris Jacaranda Decor Chair
  • Brigitte Bardot (photo from IMDb)
  • Audrey Tautou in the film “Coco Before Chanel” (photo from IMDb)
  • British Pashley Princess Sovereign bicycle, with a parisian attitude (photo from Pashley Bicycles)
And a bit of music to go with it…

Which are the things that inspire you? Ohhh mon amour….tiritira…

Cream tea at “Fifi and Ally”…

Fifi and alli

And this is what I had today! A beautiful cream tea, as they call it here, at a favourite Glasgow cafe, Fifi and Ally. It is situated in Princes Square and it makes the best fruit scones I have ever had. My friend and husband both agreed that this was the case! It does look awesome in the photo yeah? Can you imagine what it actually tastes like? These are the things the cafes back home just cannot do :-(. But hey since I live here I am so lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy them with my friends and my love.

Where is your favourite place for tea or coffee?

CORFU, Travel

My summer in Corfu, Greece! Hello again!

I know I have disappeared completely for the summer…:-( Sorry about that. I just needed to take a long break and find new balances and ways of life. I had an absolutely wonderful time with my man and my best friends touching base again and enjoying a full summer (I had not done this since….oh I cannot even remember…probably primary school!). We had coffees at Cafe “Petite Fleure”, “Bristol” and “Grec”. We had nice handmade pizza at “Piperitsa” with the lovely environment, enjoyed a baptism at Kommeno, swam at Barbati beach crystal clear waters, suntanned on the sunchairs of Piedra del Mar.

Well I do promise to keep in touch more often. And although it is a pity the summer is over, I feel rested and ready for the winter coming. What about you?

Take me to (little) Italy…

I know I know…I have not updated the blog for ages and I have missed it so much! Yesterday we went with some good friends on a boat trip around the Isle of Arran, had a great lunch with Caesar salad and fabulous chocolate cherry pie that my Colin made from scratch, drank champagne and bonded. I was also so happy to wear my red Vogue sunglasses my dad bought for me as a gift for the summer.

Some people above had decided to name their boat “Quantum of Solace”. I found this worth of a picture!

Today I took my dad to our favourite coffee/restaurant place in Glasgow. It is called Little Italy and it has, to my opinion, the best coffee and the best pizza in Glasgow. My dad loves it too and we go there every morning for a treat. I also love their Portuguese tarts. Yum yum!!! I had my favourite cappucino and an amaretto cheesecake.
