Taking a Breather

I love the holiday season 

but I have learned 

that you need to pace yourself.

There are times, when you need 

to take yourself out of the picture 

and escape...if only for an hour.

Today I travelled to Italy, 

just me, my latte and a cookbook.

It all happened in our local cafe
and we had a great time.

Italia by Antonio Carluccio's

It was just the ticket to get me going again.

Manilli de Sea

(Silk handkerchief pasta sheets with Pesto)

How yummy does that sound?

I travelled thru Italy, 

found a great recipe for dinner

and was raring to go again. 

Next time you are out and about 

and feeling like
you need a breather,
join me!

You won't regret it :)

National Photographer of the Year 2010

Another none-fashion related post.. I'm sorry! But I saw these AMAZING pictures the other day and I really wanted to share them with you!

The National Photographer of the Year competition is held every year, where people all over the world can send there wildlife pictures in. There are a lot of categories for adult photographers, but there is also an opportunity for the young ones! These are my favorite pictures from this year.


Isn't this picture grand? I mean, look at the light and the little family holding each other and protecting the thing they have...


I really really love this picture! Bunnies in paris!


Cute little owls!


Look at all those butterflies? Incredible!


This picture is a picture that really starts you thinking. Look at how sad the monkey looks at the little bird who lost his life. You just can see him thinking: Why?


And this picture really lets you realise the horror we people do to animals. Look at how hopelessly strangled he is in that terrible fishersnet. Doesn't his face scream: HELP!?

If you want to watch these pictures yourself and you live in the Netherlands, the exhibition is currently in the Museon in The Hague. I really can recommend it to you guys! Next post will be a fashion-related one.. I promise! xoxo Sabine

Christmas Tree Talk

What I want to know is how soon is to soon?

I am pondering trees at the moment and am in a quandry.

In America, 

our  favourite tree was the Fraser Fir.

In Australia and New Zealand, 

we used the plantation pine (Pinus Radiata).

In England, 

the choices are the Norway Spruce (left)

and Nordmann Fir (right).

We are still deciding. 

In the meantime, 

I would love to know...

What country do you live in?

When do you put your Christmas tree up?

Do you have a particular type that you like to buy?

Do you prefer a fresh tree or artificial?

Do you have a preferred height?

What do you think?

Should we go for the 

Norway Spruce or Nordmann Fir?

Decisions, Decisions!

Best wishes for a wonderful weekend 

from this tree pondering blogger :)

POSTSCRIPT:
Thank you all for your fantastic responses. I have learned so much!
I thought I would add the trees that some of you have mentioned.
I am also adding a wonderful pine scented candle that I use every year...it
works like magic at bringing the Christmas Spirit into our home.

Warm Wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving

I am sending Thanksgiving Greetings

to family and friends across the sea today.

It has been many years since we celebrated

a traditional American Thanksgiving.

Our thanks have been shared each November 

in the warm climates of Australia 

and New Zealand since 1999.

But today, on this very cold day, 

in Surrey, England

with forecasts of snow for the weekend

we are at it again.

Our day will be like any other with school 

and work with the exception of two busy beavers,

Miss Christine (D#1) and I who will be home 

whipping up a storm.

Today, thoughts have been given to setting the table. 

Plates, glasses, silver, flowers, candles and 

a few pumpkins and gourds to bring it all together. 

Miss Christine is a very good student.

Mom must be a good teacher :)

A few ideas for the table...

and the menu....

turkey, stuffing, mashed sweet potato, garlic potatoes, gravy and more...

with dessert to follow...pumpkin pie, apple pie and homemade vanilla ice cream.

There is nothing like children, 

with eyeswide open on Thanksgiving Day.

Some of my fondest memories were looks just like this.

For many kids. the preparation is often more fun than the meal.

and when the day is done, the dishes are washed

 and the exhilitation of the afternoon walk 

has passed, we rest. 

Reading, movies,
to each his own, 

it is time to relax
because...

 the busiest time of the year starts the next morning :)

To you and yours...I send my warmest 

wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

and to my friends outside of America,

best wishes for a wonderful day :)

Ok Go!

Last sunday, I went to a huge cdmarket with I think a hundred stands. There were also stand for toys, comic books and a huge vintage and antique market. It was in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and is one of the biggest markets of Europe. I went there with my dad and my aunt and really had a lot of fun. Main goal was of course to buy some music! I bought 4 cd´s:
- Hopes and Fears - Keane
- Favourite Worst Nightmare - Artic Monkeys
- Here we go, Stereo! - Racoon
- Oh No - Ok Go



And I wanted to talk about the last one. This amazing band has really good music but also really cool musicvideo's. Al lot of video's are made in one shot or are just a bit weird (the way I like it.. those clips stand out a lot more then the 100th girl singing in a bra and dancing in a sexy way with guys..) I've also seen them on Lowlands, were they gave an amazing performance. I wanted to share my favorite numbers of the cd I bought with you with the most amazing clips. I know, its a bit different post, but I really want to share the music I like with you!

A Million Ways


Do What You Want


Here It Goes Again


And one of the most awesome clips ever: This Too Shall Pass

A Mother's Tale...A Mother's Love

It is exam time in our household. The tension is mounting and Mom (that's me) is trying to stay calm. You would think by my fourth child that I would have this mastered but I never give up being anxious for them. English, Science, Maths, Religious Education, French, Geography, History and Maths and English again...all in three days and he is just 10. He asked me to help me with his Maths homework the other day and I nearly fainted. Crikey, have I really forgotten that much? Then again, I was not a model math student. My standard answer seems to be 'go ask your Father' . It is a worry when I hear the same reply on the other end. Poor little thing...my son, not my husband :)

On top of this I have been living in a sea of papers trying to sort out which school to apply to for his High School years. His school ends at 13 years of age and I have discovered that I am behind the eight ball in getting applications into the future school's. I am getting that 'what?, you haven't....???' kind of look from the mothers in the pick up line. The kind that makes you feel like the most useless parent in the world.

I have a list of both Boarding and Day schools. Boarding, yikes! I am sure you can imagine what that is like. My last child, my baby, in Boarding School at 13??  To top it off, I have to totally immerse myself in the English A Level system. Is there no end to the types of High School Certificates in this world?? I had to figure out the HSC in Australia, the NCEA in New Zealand, the IB at an International School in London and now I have to sort thru A Levels. I am thinking there should be a Certificate for parents that manage to understand just one let alone four.

Ok...now I am winging, but honestly, I am probably just looking for a little sympathy. Am I wrong to be feeling a bit sad that my lucky last is growing up? He turns 11 next week and I will miss his Birthday...the first time ever. I have a good excuse, as I will be in Australia for my eldest son's  University graduation. Still..my baby...going on 11. He is tall and lanky and already in size 14 clothes and has a mouth full of teeth that are two years ahead of schedule. I don't think I can hold him back for long. He is ready to grow and I am not. Well, I shouldn't say that, I am growing, just in a different sort of way :)

My lucky last, following Mom and Dad in Scotland.

A mother's tale... a mother's love.

Eyes or Olives?

Its time for another outfit! I wanted to show you one confusing item of my closet: The dress. What is weird about it? Look closely at the pattern. Some say the round thingies are eyes, some say it are olives. Some see sheep in it and some snakes and some insects.. It so weird! But thats exactely why I love it! I already have this dress for 3-4 years from the H&M and its still great! Ow, and the tights and the shirt are also from H&M and the heels are from Invito.



Next post will be a bit different one. Music. I'll explain it later ;)

Have you met Beate?

One of the things I enjoy about blogging 

is all the talented and clever people I meet.

If you are reading this post, I put you in that category.

You may have a blog, you may not, but you are interested,

and my guess is that a creative spirit lives within you. 

One that is already out and doing it's thing 

or one that is waiting..for the day 

when you are ready to make it happen.

I would like to introduce you to Beate.

She is a continuous source of inspiration to me.

She is one of those blogger's that I have

come to know recently and I am so glad 

she stopped in and said hello.

Beate has a blog, 

Sunday in Bed 

'Be a guest in your own bed'

Beate loves yarn and working with her hands

She loves the sensuality of colour 

and things that are handmade with love.

She loves cats...

and introducing her readers to other creative artists.

Beate shares an appreciation for Anthropologie

and sentimental movies.

Yummy things happen at Beate's...her post's want to make you create

sumptuous delights.

You will find wonderful ideas for the holidays at Beate's too.

If you enjoy daily walks you will find that Beate does too.

I can tell that this is one of her favourite times of day.

I think you will agree, that blogging allows us 

stretch out and make friends with people around the world.

It is one of my favourite aspects about blogging.

You can visit Beate at Sunday in Bed.

She is German and lives in Bavaria, Germany.

Look for the translator

widget at the top of her page. 

You can also visit her shop, Garnwerkstatt,

where she sells her wonderful creations.

If you are looking to feel inspired..

go along and say hello to Beate.

Tell her Jeanne sent you :)

Lastly.....

When I started blogging I quickly realised that to have a friend 

you have to be a friend. I love reading other people's blogs and leaving comments.

I may err on the lengthy side and sometimes I wonder if this is a good thing. I am sure

if I left them short and simple I would get thru more blogs but it never feels right to me.

If I haven't been by lately, I will be soon. I enjoy introducing friends too and look forward

to doing more over the upcoming months. xx
