Kew Gardens 38th Smile ♥

The year goes by again very fast

and here we are soon to be Christmas.

Kew Gardens had their traditional Christmas lights again,

we love them so much.

The atmosphere is great, the music

the lights…

and hot chocolate with marshmallows.


The soft glow of candle light
can reveal 
the beauty
in even the 
simplest of things.

Beautifully lit

Swirls in the trees

The Let’s dance walk


There is so much beauty
when your eyes lay lost 
in all the lights.

A pretty Pattern ♥

I found this lovely pattern 
as a shadow at night 
on my vegetable patch wall
while watching the stars.

Be thankful for this day, 
and you will fill it with joy. 
Be appreciative of those 
around you, 
and they will bring 
much value to your life.

♥ Enjoy the day ♥

Advent Calendar – A thought for each day 15.12.23

We live in a society

where the little things we do often get overlooked

and it has a way of making us believe

that those things don’t matter.

They do.

Compassion, understanding, small acts of kindness,

or a willingness to simply reach out to others in any way

can all make a huge difference.

Thoughtfulness

Taking the time to let someone know 
that you’re thinking about them 
can bring light to their life 
whenever they may have trouble finding it.

Kew Gardens 34th Smile

The year goes by very fast

and here we are nearly at Christmas.

Kew Gardens had their traditional Christmas lights on.

Beautiful lights everywhere.


I often think
that the night is more alive
and more richly coloured
than the day.

A lovely flower for the night garden. 🙂

To love beauty 
is to see light.

In the Tower of London

Time flies and it is already weekend again… hurray!

We went to the Tower of London the other night to see the Ceremony of the keys which is being performed since 700 years every single day and it is open to the public to witness it. The waiting list is long and we waited 3 month for our turn. One is not allowed to take pictures. I did take some while waiting outside the gate to be let in!

It is so much fun to discover more and more of my wonderful London. So come with me.

It was very interesting and we enjoyed a pleasant and fun chat with the guide/ high ranking soldier afterwards who told us more interesting facts around the tower.

Wishing all a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
