....and 10 years :)

Dear readers,

I hope you're all OK since my last article? Sorry, I haven't taken the time to write very much these past months.

I just wanted to wish my blog a very belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY as it has now reached ten years! :) I still can't believe it sometimes but apparently it's true ;)
So, thank you again for your patience and support, even if I admit, I do write less and less these days. Whether it's because I'm busy or simply because I don't always feel very inspired...
In any case, I hope you're still enjoying it :)

However, the question of keeping this blog active is a recurring thought as I don't know if you're still interested or if I'm inspired enough to continue. Not that I don't like my blog anymore, of course not. It has been a safe place to share my thoughts (books, movies, friendship, love) , anything else going through my mind at the time...) or/and my fears (sometimes) etc... but a part of me feels like I have come to a cross road. Sort of.  And I don't know yet whether to continue or not. We'll see in the coming months.

Meanwhile, for those who celebrate,  happy Valentine's Day in advance and for those who don't (like me), it's OK too :)  there are absolutely no pressure. Don't feel guilty just because you have no plans.
I could probably write a novel on the subject (lol).

Take care and see you all around xxx

And 9 years :)

Dear readers,

Hope you're all OK?

First, I apologize for not writing sooner but I wasn't inspired and have been quite busy. I'm still trying to figure out a few things out at the moment.

Meanwhile, a question keeps returning (I think I may have mentioned it a few years ago) as to whether or not I'll continue writing this blog. Mostly because I don't write as much as I used to. But I've decided to keep my blog for the time being, it'll just write sporadically ( not as often).

Anyway, it is with a few days delay that I would like to wish my blog a very happy birthday :) 9 years! I can't still believe it :) Hope you're still enjoying it! :) In any case, thank you for following my articles ! :)

Take care and see you soon for another article :) xxx

Autumn Colors

Hello readers, I know I haven't written much these past few months but I've still got a lot on my mind (see previous article). So today, just a short article, or shall we say, a picture...:)

Autumn may come before the winter, with fresh temperatures and night falling early but there is also nice landscape or sunset...;) and this magazine features made me think of that.

Nice, isn't it? Makes me want to snuggle in front of a fire , with a good book and a warm cup of tea ;) Anyway, take care and see you soon for another article! Happy Halloween for those who intend to celebrate it! And don't forget that we have now officially turn the clock backward again! :) xxx

Another year begins...:)

Dear readers, hope you're all OK and had a very festive holiday! :) And first to start this new year, just a few words to wish you all a very warm happy new year, best wishes! ;)

And of course, we all know, that every year, we all want to make resolutions, which are a good thing, but also...quite hard to keep...:) no worries. We have all been there.

But this year...is quite important for me as I've got a few decisions to make, so lately I've had a lot on my mind...(sorry in advance if I don't write much)...keeping me busy. I feel terrified and scared at the same time...it may sound simple for others, whilst it is less easy for me...so I really hope I'll get through this...;)

In the meantime, every year, fall...Valentine's day and I'm sorry to say but if I hear or see something related (which I probably will as it's hard to miss) to it...I'm going to scream. I've got nothing against romance and love happy ending but it looks more and more commercial every year, leaving the romance out of it. It feels too much, as if you've got  to feel obligated to do something or buy a card or flowers or go to a nice restaurant or...do something romantic or if you're single, oh my god, it's awful...(No, it's not!), there is nothing wrong with being single or wanting to stay quietly at home with a cup of tea and a good book! (which I prefer). But once again, everyone is entitled to its opinion. ;)

I'll see you soon for another article, take care, xxx

A new year starts...! :)

Hello readers!

Hope you all had a lovely time with your family! :)

And of course, before beginning; Happy New Year!!! All the best! :)

I won't be too long for this first article of the year...just wanted to say a quick hi! :) as many challenges are waiting for me...it's quite overwhelming and as I'm still asking myself many questions while some people start to ask me 'so what's next?' not that I mind because I know they care and would like to know or help, expect I realized that I still need time...time to figure things out, time to see where I'm going exactly, time to take things step by step...otherwise I perfectly know that I'll panic again, which I'd like to avoid if possible...keep you posted! take care and see you around soon for another article! :)

Once again, happy new year! :) xxx

Happy Holidays! :)

Hello readers! Last article of the year, I don't think I'll be writing before next year, so once again; have a merry little Christmas and a Happy New year! All the best for 2015! Crazy isn't it?

Anyway, last spoiler (see article titled 'Spoiler&news' published recently), for the book 5 following Alex's sister, her name will be Rachel and I think for now, her love interest will be called Josh. Story still being developed. I've still got the title to find nonetheless. For the book 3, I might change the title along the way. That's it for now! Take care and see around soon for another article! Best wishes! xxx

Winter, indulge yourself :)

Hello readers, no I'm not writing today...well maybe a bit but I won't be long...just a quick article.
Actually, just a song that will resume my thoughts perfectly...you'll see once you have listened to it!
P.s: before I post the video, just a little reminder, everyone is free to do as he/she like. It's just one opinion...no judgement! :) Enjoy! take care, Happy holidays everyone! See you around soon! :)

So true, I'd say! But that's just me, no need to rush...it's important to take your time...! (smile discreet) :) And as the winter starts, with fresher temperature, don't forget to take care of yourself and drink warm cup of tea, with a good book and...a nice fire in the cheminey! :) Or stay a little longer in bed...! :)
All the best! xxx

Winter

Dear readers, Hope you're all alright despite the (bloody)cold present since a few days, which make you envy to stay in...bed!!! (rire) For me, well, nothing much, as my mood is (read the previous article) changing...I'm sometime OK and sometimes less OK. I'm getting there but there is still some work to do and things to resolve...hopefully it should be fine (I really once again hope so!) Otherwise, in the line...of getting my mood better, I'm still reading as much books as possible (which help a lot), drinking warm cup of tea (yeah!!), seeing a few close friends whenever I can and whenever they can( also helps), going to the cinema ( Life of Pi or Populaire are really good if you're interested or if you like actions movies there is Jack Reacher (quite good but let's say I really prefer the books!), and also seeing other members of my family helps too! And I'm getting back to England in a few days...! :) can't believe it as the christmas holidays went quite fast in the end...as always! lol! :) I was also thinking...about something else to add to this blog (which will be 3 years old! next month!) I don't know yet, I keep the idea in mind and will see if I do it or not...! :) sorry for the suspens but I'm still deciding! :) Patience (smile) you will probably see it soon...:) Anyway, good luck for everything...and hope you'll bear the cold, but we can see that winter is really here! :) Sortez les écharpes, les bonnets, les gants, et les manteaux bien chaud! Couvrez-vous bien! :) See you soon for another article, take care, xxx

February

Dear readers,

First, how are you? Hope you're still ok since the last time.

Et je vois que ça fait longtemps que je n'ai pas écrit..., veuillez m'en excusez mais l'inspiration wasn't really here. The second semester is quite interesting and I'm enjoying myself. But I will tell you all that later, that could give me another excuse for writing an another article! :) (rire)
So, new month...! Crazy...:) Anyway, just a little article in this new month; which begin by not a good weather...it's cold, raining and you want to stay at home with a cup of tea and a good book (lol!) :) or going to the cinema, see a good movie (which is case in this moment, good movies seems to came out, either there is nothing or either a lot of good and interesting movie...allez savoir! ^^Bref, in this case, that's nice when you want to indulge yourself (Hum...I like this expression!)
So before, leaving you, (not for long), run absolutely to see 'The King's Speech' with our Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helen Boham Carter, Jennifer Ehle (et oui...:) ;) !) and many others...Good movie, good actors...you'll get out enchanted...by this man, who thought he couldn't do it or didn't how he could do it but...he does! And Colin Firth is just brilliant! :)
Then, quickly, I also saw 'Morning Glory', a comedy where a morning show called 'DayBreak' is in difficulty, it might be cancelled. A young women, Becky is hired to try all she can do to save the show. Will she succeed? Will she be able to resist the pressure?. Very simple, funny, not too complicated, you'll have a nice moment...:) and 'The Dilemma', when a friend, randomly discover that her best friend's wife is having an affair...how he is going to tell him...quite fun and nice actors, just sometimes a bit too much....but not bad! :) And finally, a movie which will let you completely speechless, which is deeply moving.., touching, beautiful, even of the theme of the movie is...not happy. But it's really worth to be seen! I really recommend it to you...you can't (even if you don't want to), to feel a bit weepy...larme à l'oeil( it's what I felt...it let me completely speechless and m'a beaucoup touché as might have already guess....:) and you might have also guess which movie I'm talking about...!?: 'Hereafter', the last Clint Eastwood, tout simplement, vrai, magique...qui vous transporte et vous émeut durant toute la durée du film (2H10). It's impossible, I think, otherwise...! :) (smile discreet).
Je crois que je suis encore toute retournée....:) J'en suis sortie....speechless..., émue; bouleversée, touchée...:)
Allez, sur cette dernière note, je vous laisser, en espérant vous revoir très vite! :) Les prochains movies that I'd like to see are: 'Tangled' (ou Princesse Raiponce qui est sortie la semaine dernière in UK!) , the romantic comedy 'How do you know', and many others...which are coming soon like: 'The Fighter', 'Never let me go' (maybe), 'Just go with it', the last comedy of Jennifer Aniston (actress that I like!)where a guy (Adam Sandler) pretends to be married to pick up girls, thinking there is no consequences! But when he meet a girl he is interested in, he, then pretends, that he's going to divorce and ask her assistant Jennifer Aniston) to help him! le voilà embarqué dans une sacré aventure!) :) (en February in Uk and in March in France)! :)
Voilà, voilà, je vais vous laissr now! take care and see you soon!

P.s= next week my blog will be one! :) xxx

Bognor Regis under the snow

Dear readers,

Hope you're ok in the begin of this new month! Yes, we are in December...already! Crazy, isn't it?

Anyway, just a little note day, more in pictures than with words..., to make the time going faster and to hung up a bit until Christmas Holidays, in which I'm eager to be, as much as you must be, I'm sure! :)
And it is this Christmas Spirit that we saw, shops and streets which begin to be at Christmas time, with lights, decorations, christmas songs, guirlandes, and christmas trees! Also, what better than snow to begin to feel at Christmas? :)
Well, I'll let you dream by these few pictures...! :)
Take care and see you soon for another article! xxx :) ;)
