Put a Fireplace in the Backyard

A nice idea for enjoying a cup of tea outside with friends a cold day of winter. A lot of comfortable chairs with a sheep skin in each one to keep you warm, placed cyclical around the hemispheric metallic fireplace. And....as a side table what else than a raw tree stump of course!

Midweek Break

When your mind is really tired of the daily problems, the best treatment is a walk near the sea or in the countryside. As I love so much the sea and the weather was warm enough and sunny (for late October), I decided yesterday going for a walk in a neighboring beach (after the encouragement of a good friend) so as to recharge my batteries and come back stronger. Νature can cure everything in a magical way....!!! The only thing you have to do is let your mind free, gazing the view, hearing the sounds around you and taking deep breath filling you lungs with fresh air. Ohh, I really feel brand new! :)

I imagine myself sitting on the carpet, drinking a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying the warmth of the fire and knitting!
