LIFE LATELY going green// lifestyle,

A GREEN THUMB?


Hi everyone! Hope things are getting better  at  least. Well we are over the lockdown and soon some things will open ( restaurants, museums sport events) in the city. Meanwhile we are having some summertime temperatures that have brought the people outside more.

So with the lovely weather  I started on more things  for the terrace area. First off some new plantings , and things we needed 


HEAVELY SCENTS

If you love flowers that give you a burst of colour and fragrant smell then I can suggest one plant that is heavenly for  your garden  or patio area. SWEET PEAS!  a n easy to grow climbing plant the grows to 1 - 2 meters high. and fills up the space with beautiful colours of pink, white, purple and red. They also attract butterflies  and they bloom from june to September.






INSPIRATION IDEA for small areas  in pots




NICE DIY IDEAS 

 Trellises

NEVER ENOUGH ...... POTS

I was looking for some bigger pots to plant  or hold  a small cedar tree . Finding the right size plus the colour and price , I was stunned to see the prices for larger pots . They are only plastic.  nothing special.  Luckily I found some with the under dish  included . and in the right colour to match the black wrought iron patio set.

 A very happy  Gardener 





FLOWERS ON FRIDAYS

What a lovely surprise, on the weekend I received some wonderful rose plants.  Always nice to get some flowers , especially roses. /( i be happy with any flower)






So are you getting into the gardening mode? Enjoying the outdoors more?

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...
