LIFE LATELY February Delights// lifestyle

 Hi Everyone  how are things there, wherever you are? 

So many places have been hit with snowstorms, from Spain to Greece, parts of the USA too.  The winter SNOW is really something i miss , where I am there is hardly any snow.  That is one thing i miss wintertime and the fun things to do , plus it keeps a person active and healthy. 


Weather Change

Hurray, finally the weather changed to cooler temperatures for a few days, there was even more snow which for me is a BIG thing. I love it when it snows, seeing the dull brown grass covered with fluffy white snow is a delight. Plus with the colder temperatures I could wear my new winter coat. I absolutely love it, its perfect length and the hood trimmed with fur is another wonderful thing.



Yes a small thing like snow and a new coat made my week.



What about Carnival?

well we can't travel anywhere with lockdowns in effect, I thought it be fun to at least try and have a Carnival at home day.  Any excuse to have fun is important for ones mental health too. So I made and hung up a facemask display, colourful paper garlands and had some simple goodies. Fruit kebabs,  a fondue set up, and of course some bubbly.

(first time trying a fondue party)









KEEP on TALKING
my german is beginning to get rusty without enough conversation . So i have tried an online language course to help me maintain and improve my german. 
Can be hard to learn but slowly it improves. 

For me reading it is much easier, and/ writing it but getting the der , die das parts is tricky.




LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRINGTIME


Yes soon spring will arrive here, sometimes in March the flowers start to peek out from the snow as the days are sunnier and longer. So I am looking forward to spring for the chance to get some flowers planted and some colour outside. Fingers crossed the iris bulbs will grow. 


The pussy willows, the fragrant  lilac tree and tulips will magical appear. Something to look forward too!

DO YOU LIKE TO DO GARDENING OR HAVE TRIED IT?



Hope your week is going well and  keeping safe .

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
