German Impressions V

Frankfurt am Main has a gorgeous Japanese Chinese garden. I apologise to my readers from China who may not be so impressed because I really like this garden. Pure and simple.

P.S. I wished I knew what it says above the entrance!?

The fisherman's dream

 When I saw this weekend house I thought: Wow, this must be located on an exotic island! It turned out that this former fishermen hut (how romantic!) is 1 1/2 hours from from the Portuguese capital Lisbon.

How sweet is the bedroom with the purple bedspread and mosquito net? And the colourful paper lamps

on the deck and the kitchen?

Green with envy

I am really into green lately. Both as an accent colour and the main colour. There are so many shades I like.
Do you like green in your home? Why/why not? (Now you can actually share your opinion in the new comment section)

 Where can I find one for myself? I love it!

I imagine lying in this bed must feel like being back in the womb. (I've read that we unconsciously always look for this place.)

German Impressions IV

'Naturally', in order to recover from my Italy trip at Christmas time I spontaneously decided  to go to Frankfurt am Main, a four hour train ride away from Paris. Ok, I am just kidding, I simply wanted to travel and any reason works for me. There were lots of cute shops around, especially in the Bergerstrasse area. I'll post the second batch in a few days.

On a different note; I finally got round to activating the comment function, so comment away! I love interacting with my readers. A few readers had written in and asked about commenting on my blog. There was no particular reason not to do it so now I cross my fingers that it works.

The house of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (now a museum), one of Germany's great writers.

House with a view

 Welcome to Ibiza! Today I wanted to start the day with some sun rays. This house is a Mediterranean dream! Whitewashed walls, wood beams and a huge sunroof with a view.

Italian Impressions IV

Greetings! This post is a bit late but after it took me four (4) days to travel to Italy at Christmas (remember the snow everywhere in Europe?) I absolutely had to take another holidays last week to recover from this trip. On the bright side, I met tons of lovely people along the way in the same situation and, hey, at least I did not have to spend Boxing day at the airport unlike some fellow passengers. Anyway, here are a few photos I took along the way. More on my trip last week tomorrow.
