Trieste in Advent

Last year we went to see Advent in Zagreb, this year we went to Trieste. Not as special, but not bad nevertheless.

Christmas cards

Almost all the Christmas cards have been posted, so I can reveal this year's mystery.

 

Folded 3D cards.

Not only did I change the colour for a bit of variety, every person got the mountains/town of where they live :-)

I am quite happy, especially considering that they are my plan B as the plan A didn't work. Oh well.

Christmas card teaser

I know I am tremendously late with this year's Christmas cards.

But I am slowly catching up! So the ones going abroad have already been posted, while the home-town cards are being made now.

And yes, my desk is a complete mess ...

Away again

About a week after returning from Portugal, I was off again. 

To the South of France.

When can I start calling it my second home?

Away

One of the reasons why there were no posts in November is that we took a lovely autumn break and went to Portugal.

Still beautiful, still fascinating, yet way more crowded than ever before...

If I counted correctly, this is the seventh time I visited the country.

But I will visit it again, for sure :-)

And no, I haven't yet had the courage to try wave surfing, my men, however, loved it!

Antibes

Not that I need any reminders on what a wonderful place Antibes is - but I am nevertheless happy I got this painting at the flea market :-)

It goes surprisingly well with other pictures and maps on my wall, showing Southern France, Nice, and Biot ;-)

December?

Whoa, December caught me off guard!

But I am catching up as quickly as I can.

First was the Christmas wreath.

Admitted, more in tiger than standard Christmas colours, but hey, I never was standard :-)
