Primus Tempus

Spring has Sprung... and following Mother Nature's lead...so have I. 

New growth, new life, new beginnings; Spring stimulates and inspires. I don't know about you, but, come Spring, my enthusiasm level raises significantly following a winter of intense hibernation. I am willing and ready to improve my life/health/intellect/cooking skills/green thumb....whatever... In other words, eager to challenge myself. The sky's the limit !! 

I have been thinking of writing a blog for some time now.  Just for the fun of it, to share thoughts, passions, inspirations, but couldn't bring myself to actually DOING it. This Spring I've decided to change all that. I'm going out on a limb here, definitely out of my comfort zone, just to see where this will take me. 

Fashion and Style, Art and Culture, Interior Design, Garden and Travel are some of my favourite interests and most likely what will take the  lead of my meandering mind.

I'd love for you to join me... and, for starters, how about a little music as we scroll down...

Moving on shall we....Back to Spring...

New Beginnings

"Spring is the time of plans and projects"
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina 

This is it. Done !  My first ( a little long perhaps) post. I may have gotten slightly carrried away.... but, although the banner needs more work done to it (more about that later), and I still need to add Pinterest and Instagram (for starters..). I'm sending this one out anyway (part of my new resolutions remember...?). Because no more waiting for
tomorrow...

  Your comments, criticism and (I hope) words of encouragment are most welcome. Do keep in mind though that all this is new to me so please be patient and forgiving and play along...

A très vite...
