Have you written to Mother Xmas?

“Life is indeed colourful. We can feel in the pink one day, with our bank balances comfortably in the black, and the grass seemingly no greener on the other side of the fence. Then out of the blue, something tiresome happens that makes us see red, turn ashen white, even purple with rage. Maybe controlling our varying emotions is just 'colour management' by another name.”

Gracias Colombia, Obrigado Colômbia

Thanks Colombia-Medellín for the beautiful tribute to our team: Chapecoense on November 30th. We are brothers and Sisters.. Somos hermanos. We will never forget your kindness. Nunca olvidaremos sua amabilidad. Now we are waiting for the four survivors to get better and come home.

“..the heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and [that] thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past”

“It is amazing what a lot of insect life goes on under your nose when you have got it an inch from the earth. I suppose it goes on in any case, but if you are proceeding on your stomach, dragging your body along by your fingernails, entomology presents itself very forcibly as a thoroughly justified science.”

T stands for Travel

Hello My T-Friends!

How are you today? I hpe you are well. As I told you I travelled last week to a small city in the north of Rio de Janeiro. There are 15 beaches there and they are fascinating. It is a very quiet city and it is perfect if you want to relax. 

I spent five magical days, enjoying the landscape, listening to the waves breaking on the shore. Here are some photos.

My daughter enjoying the scenery.

 You can see a lot of turtles in the sea from here. It's amazing.

 It was very windy and I am dishevelled ha ha ha. A lot of artisans sell their goods here. I bought a lovely Frida Kahlo painting ( naive art).

 Look at this fabulous graffitti on this house. What a lovely street art!

My daughter and me.

Here is a friend of mine. We've been friends for over 30 years. She lives there. My daughter is the smiling girl taking the photo.

Don't forget to visit Elizabeth
