Some more photos of the Sardinian sun

Thank you so much for all your comments on my last post. It is so nice that there are still a few people out there who are reading and following along :)

I was thinking that I should change my blog-reading behaviour and comment more aswell as it gives the writer some nice feedback, even though that I sometimes think, this is also a space nice for me to have and to remember some good moments I was happy to capture with my camera.

Sardinia, August 2016

During the hot midday temperatures we stayed in our cool apartment, napping, eating, drawing and getting for the next round at the beach :)

The light

Something I noticed right after our arrival in Sardinia was the wonderful light there.

Sardinia - II

We went to Sardinia with friends and their little girl late August. Just a wonderful week of good food, lots of sun and wonderful beaches, so many great beaches.

We loved the warm sun on our skin and to just feel warm. It reminded us a lot to our time in Australia when we had warmer weather all your around. We could choose from so many great beaches everywhere it was sometimes not easy to decide where to go. The girls didn't mind at all, all they needed where their floaties and the water. I didn't know but many beaches are not sandy and rather stoney which made the water appear even more crystal clear and blue.

Summer is very undecided these days. One day I am sitting on my bike in the mornings, not wearing a cardigan and it feel the wonderful warm Summer air around my bare legs and on other days I have to get out gum boots and wooly cardigans to not be chilly. It is how it is..but I hope we get a few more of those warmer days in the next weeks.

To make sure we booked a little trip with friends to Sardinia late August. I am so excited about it and look a lot forward to it: the sun, the food, hanging out at the beach, sitting outside the house in the evenings, maybe read a book or just play with Matilda. Just time for us is what I need.

I started carving out some time for crafting again. I have a few unfinished projects or planned ones which I like to finish or finally start (to hopefully finish). And it feels good to make things and see a finished product, something I always find very satisfying.

At the moment I realize that I start to not enjoy fast social media as much as I used to. I rather go back to my feedly and read proper blog posts the content seems so much richer and actually gets my pure attention and seem more sustainable, if that makes any sense. For instance I really enjoy Okka's blog a lot. It is funny how you used to read something for years and go back to realize it is still a wonderful place to spend time at.

- A wonderful song I enjoy (What Youth - Hazing)
- I adore these knits (Harry Ware)
- The cover of the new Plant Magazine looks so magnificent
- A shop I like to visit for real one day (Collected by Tas-Ka)
- Next time we are in Melbourne, I will try and buy this tea towel by David Shrigley, because truth has to be said
- I am dreaming of a trip to California. Since we have been there a few years back I think back to it almost weekly.  George Byrne's amazing photos and the The FvF LA section help to day dream
- Sometimes when I just want to browse nice photos, I click through Eefje's blog, so inspiring.

Have a wonderful weekend friends. The photos above are from the wonderful day at Villa Carlotta at Lake Como with dear friends last year.

Take care,
Maria

At the boarder to Switzerland

These photos are still from our trip in Italy this Summer. It feels like it takes me forever to post all the photos [sorry].
During our week at Lake Como we also had a few days which weren't that sunny, so on the one rainy day we drove up to the Italian/Swiss boarder to get to a little place which was recommended to us by our landlords. It was such a small village with maybe only six houses and a Osteria at which we had a fantastic lunch.


I am still so much in thoughts after the terrible events in Paris last Friday. I am speechless, sad, angry...& also not sure what to think...

Swims, swims, swims

It gets cooler and darker here and I am dreaming of sunshine on my face and cooling swims

On the ferry to Bellagio

I'd love to go for a swim in this pool right now
