First Snow

(That's the village I live, notice the sea in the background ^^)

Today started with a nice breakfast with Roberto. Then I was checking e-mails and reading some blogs when I saw that on Twitter the half world had snow: the US, Holland, Germany, Budapest and England.
I was a bit perplexed. I live in a place where it always snows before all other places, I live near the Appennines. Nevertheless, there was a lovely sunny shining through the trees.
We decided to go for a hike on the mountains at the end of the valley (Roberto and I are always so active at weekends, if you don't go for a walk, on the bike or do some sport we can get kind of depressed ^^).

Time to get with the car to the place from where we would star walking (5 minutes away from my house) and the sky was already grey and announcing snow. When we begun walking it was snowing!! I was happy and it was so nice, even if we were freezing.(freezing)

Then it stopped and when we came home from the walk it begun snowing again, seriously this time. We had a cup of hot cinnamon coffee and now we are having a nice afternoon at home: cooking soup for dinner, finishing the Christmas cards, reading, and so on.



I hope you have had a cosy - snowy day too!

Something in the mail.

Yesterday I came home, at my parents' after three weeks, and there was something waiting for me in the mail. Actually, my mother brought the little package with her when she came picking me up at the station.
The lovely Katja sent me this beautiful handmade hat. I immediately wore it yesterday and today.
Thank you so much Katja =)


I also got some useful crafty thing from my aunt, who lives in Denmark and decided to surprise us with some nice things for Sinterklaas and Christmas.

Today I spent a fantastic morning with my father. I had so much fun, really, buying gifts for Sinterklaas for Roberto and just looking around.
Then I came home and decided to start making Christmas postcard. That was at 1 pm, now it's 18 pm and I am still painting, I love it.



In a few hours Roberto will come and we will enjoy an evening all together watching a movie maybe.
Have a nice weekend!
