In need of Jane Austen's wisdom

Dear readers, hope you're all OK! :) 

No, I'm not (officially) back just yet-am still figuring things out...:) 

So, today, not a big and long article-sorry, just pictures and...hopefully wisdom from one of my favorite author! :) 

Hope you'll enjoy it...whenever I feel down (or just need to smile), Jane Austen is never too far away...;) 
And before I leave you, two special thoughts for two very important people :) 
Take care and see you soon for another article! :) xxx

If like me, you don't want to celebrate Valentine's day....:)

Hello dear readers! :) Hope you're all OK?

No, I'm not writing because it's Valentine's day-you know me by now...(lol) as much as it's still sweet to celebrate romance every year...I find it more and more commercial every time, putting even more pressure on couples to do everything perfectly (champagne, cards, flowers, jewellery and other inventions) or for pushing single people to absolutely find someone, which is quite ridiculous!

Whether you're single or not, you don't especially need this day to celebrate love...you can also do it every other day of the year! :) But that's just my opinion...


Meanwhile, for all the singletons (as our dear Bridget Jones would say), here is a selection of books, that will make you smile...(hopefully)! :)

From the left to the right: 'Me Before you' By Jojo Moyes (keep the tissues close), 'A hopeless romantic' by Harriet Evans, 'Just like heaven' by Julia Quinn and just for fun: 'The Jane Austen's Marriage Manual' by Kim Izzo.

Or..just because ;-) I couldn't resist..:p

Have a lovely evening, whatever your plans are! :) Take care and see you soon for another article! :) xxx

And...7 years! :)

Hello! :)

No, I'm not officially back yet but I just wanted to write a short article, to wish my blog a very happy seventh bithday! :)

I still can't believe it either, as it feels like yesterday that I've started this blog. I didn't imagine myself writing on this blog for all this time....crazy! ;)

I certainly hope, that you're still enjoying it as much as I do-even if I do write less. :) and that you're not too bored (lol) ;)

And a very special thought this month to someone I shall (and still do) miss very much :) Take care and see you soon for another article! xxx

New Year, New resolutions?

Hello readers! Hope you're all OK and that this new year has started well? :)

Just a short article today-as I've decided (unless I feel inspired, who knows?) to take a break for my blog.
I'm not abandonning it, don't worry. I'm still here. However, at the moment, I've got a lot on my mind and as this new year is starting, I've also a few things to figure out...;)

Meanwhile, to illustrate this article, here is a picture, that speak for itself...:)

I know...every year, it's the same thing...we all try (mostly) to make new resolutions but in the end, we don't really keep them...no worries, it happens! ;) But it doesn't mean, you can't try...or even start with small ones...:) And, as I face new challenges this year, it's always nice to know, you're not alone! ;)

Take care, thanks again for following me-I'll be back before you know it! :) xxx

Happy Holidays! :)

Hello readers, hope you're all OK and are enjoying this festive period! ;)

Just a short article today and a Christmassy song to put you all in a good mood ;)

Take care and see you soon for another article! xxx

Jane Austen-Quote

Hello readers, hope you're all OK! :)

Just a short article today, I won't be too long. Like my previous article, I'll let this picture, speak for itself.

In light of recent events, I just thought it was appropriate and I think there is no one like Jane Austen to make your smile-whenever you feel down. :)

Enjoy! :) 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
