Even if I lived for a thousands of years , I wouldn't be full filled of those hugs.

Mistletoe 2014.my first

"Μεγαλύτερο δωρο απτην αγαπη δεν εχει παιδι μου"συνηθιζει να λέει η γιαγιά μου,και σήμερα το πρωί το επιβεβαιώσα για αλλη μια φορά χάρη στο πακέτο που έλαβα. Η οικογένεια μου φρόντισε να μου στειλει το πνεύμα των χριστουγεννων μεσα απο ενα κουτι με μερικα μικρα ξύλινα στολιδακια,μικρά άσπρα φωτεινά λαμπιόνια και ενα μικρο υπέροχο δεντρακι. 

Αυτές οι μικρές καθημερινές εκδηλωσεις αγάπης. Αυτές.

In a coffee shop,in this season?" I chuckle. "No wonder he's frowning.

She studies me for a moment,as if inspecting my ears or something. Then she laughs as well,like I have passed a test,and stretches back,taking a deep breath, to bathe in the smell of coffee. We pretend to be good friends.

We soak in the coffee bean sea.

As a child I remember my mum's excitement for Christmas holidays and all the preparations she did accompanied with christmas melodies.So now,in my house I decided to decorate it properly for Christmas with little items that reminds me of a winter home..
It is not a necessity to be extremely decorated,full of items , expensive ones....just to be lovely and warmly. 

A month left,so excited!

Thassos , Greece

After the rain.

She puffed out a breath,looked away from his laugh-lined eyes and back to the window.They were passing through a grimy village with children floating paper sailboats in roadside puddles.

Wordlessly.

Book to Look

                   Prinzessin Brambilla

                  by E.T.A. Hoffmann

"Το μάτι μισοβλέπει και η φαντασία ολοκληρώνει" είπε ο Θεόφιλος Γκοτιέ...

Ενώ λοιπόν στην αρχή έβρισκα τον Χόφμαν κάπως βαρύ , εν τέλη κατάφερε να με παρασύρει στα καρναβαλίστικα μα ταυτόχρονα γοτθικά ποτάμια της φαντασίας του και μου άρεσε πολύ. 

Το συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο είναι συλλογή τριών "παραμυθιών"- όπως τα βλέπει ο καθένας με τα μάτια της ψυχής- μου άρεσε περισσότερο απο τον σκύλο Μπεργκάντσα και...επιφυλάσσομαι για τον Γάτο Μουρ καθότι μόλις το ξεκίνησα. 

εις το επανιδείν λοιπόν με ολοκληρωμένη κριτική...

Make your self at home

Christmas collection-Zara HOME

I scowled in return and began the process of lugging my heavy suitcase up the marble steps.My body begged for a rest part way up,but I refused to show weakness in front of her and soldiered on,letting out a breath of relief as I reached the to.The first floor was just as elaborate as the hallway,with high ceilings and delicate chandeliers.There was a red,velvet couch half way down the corridor ans ,as I glanced absentmindedly at it,memories sprung to the forefront of my mind.I shuddered,remembering how impressionable I'd been back then.If only I'd have known just how things would turn out...

too early? maybe not..

Hot This Week: Pick up an Addiction

*

The smell of coffee filled the air as the line grew shorter.People giving orders,the noise of people taking sips of coffee  and wrappers being scrunched up into balls, were my surroundings.I wa stuck in a line filled of coffee lovers who spent their morning dying to take a large cup from this nice local coffee shop that stood out nicely.I on the other hand would be one of those people only I wasn't an addict and today I would have to drink my hot cappuccino and maybe a snack and rush to work.

A.Lifeguard  

  &&I froze on the spot.My breath hitched and my head went clear.We stared at each other for a long time as our eyes locked into each other until I finally broke it by turning around...

So what's your story traveller?

Visit an old city and a new.

Stumple with awe a great sign of architecture ,

a great place for sweet

and a large park .

See the sunset several times from different places.

Be a traveller in time,in a futuristic next level,beyond "tourist". Taste with your eyes and see with your soul.
