BARCELONA BABY!

..How I spent my New Year's break: sunny Spain, fresh seafood, garlic prawns, walks outside without freezing off one's extremities, Gaudi-tiled patterns, one unfinished cathedral, strolls in the port by the water, stone statues sitting side by side looking out into the sea.

More photos to come!

VENICE, PART II

So, part 2 (of 3!), Venice holiday snaps! (part 1 is here)

Below, you'll find pictures of sugary doughnuts, shellfish lunches in the sun, ivy covered walls, cool churches, cream filled cannoli decorated with jellied candies, pretty pink lace lingerie displays, & me in a bar, in sunglasses, at 11am. Hey, it was Harry's Bar, how could we not follow in the footsteps of Hemmingway?!

Venice Photojournal (One)

.

Venice is of course one of the most photogenic places, right at the top of the list of prettiest, historic Italian cities, with its winding streets, raised walkways to avoid the floods, & mouthwatering flavours of gelato. I have a ton of pics to go through, but here is the first bunch: the colourful houses of Burano Island, the boats, the gondolas, the washing drying in the squares of the Ghetto*, & the rain in Saint Mark's Square, San Marco...

*the word ghetto first derived from the Venetian Ghetto, as persecued Jews escaped to the city from various enclaves within Europe. 



NB. Thanks you for all your lovely comments recently, I love reading them, & I promise I'll get around to replying soon!

Reporting from Oslo! {Part One}

First set of photos from Oslo.. in which I tasted reindeer, wore furry earmuffs constantly, took a metro to the end of the line  to see the forests & the snow & the city view, traipsed towards a log cabin & drank Irish coffee by the open fire, & went to the National Gallery to look at the Munch room (I prefer the Madonna, below, to The Scream).

I was wearing ear muffs from Aldo, sunnies by Karen Walker, puffa jacket by Zara, sweater & jeans by Gap, & high-tops by River Island.

 

More pics to follow soon!
