Travelling Fridays

Seville, Spain, 2010

A guilty secret? Okay then... Sometimes I like to watch Knight and Day simply for the shots of Seville, then I get to say "I've been there!" 

Discovering New Things

I always love discovering new things I like, whether that's a great book or film that I keep wanting to read/watch anew, or a new favourite outfit or piece of jewellery, or a new blog.

So, I'd like to share with you 3 new blogs I've stumbled upon recently, that I really like.
 

                                                            1


Color Me Katie is a bright, bubbly, happy blog. In my mind, it conjures up sunshine, cookies and crayons. I especially love the adventures of Moo.









                                                              2


Mademoiselle LaLa is a fashion blog, and this girl has great style, and a knack for finding cool things. It makes you want to experiment with clothes and... go shopping!









                                                                    3

A Chocolate Moose is my latest discovery. Amazing photography, travels and cat. Makes you want to shop for vintage cameras and hop on a train somewhere exotic.









So now you know what I've been reading lately!

Dreaming of Seville

I've just been to the cinema to watch the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, and I have to say, despite what the critics said, I loved it more than I thought I would! Some of that undoubtedly comes from seeing the film set when we lived in London, (I saw Johnny Depp's trailer!), and knowing the buildings in Greenwich well. You know the scene when Captain Jack Sparrow was here:



Yep, been there!


The slight Latin twist to it, with the portrayal of Cadiz, the Spanish Caribbean, the music, and obviously the starring of Penelope Cruz; immediately drew my mind to Spain. In particular, the Spanish culture.

Although obviously I am extremely excited to live in Puente Genil again, and absorb the cultura española, part of me really really wants to experience living here:






I feel like when we travel, certain places just captivate me entirely. These places retain such a hold upon me, that I leave a little piece of my heart in each one, and wish to return to them, perhaps to live in.

Seville is one such place.... perdí mi corazón en sevilla.
