gone fishing

we love eating grilled sardines in the summer, i’m a big fan, it’s a very portuguese thing, plus they’re  super healthy.

a few weeks ago i stumbled upon these ones hand painted in perfection by marina, the owner of mageiko arte batik.

this one came with me to turks and caicos – i’m pretty in love with them all!

a cup of pukka

earlier this month in london, when staying at my friend’s place, we had a cup of pukka tea every night before going to bed. they are delicious organic herbal teas, and there is one to match every mood. i fell in love with the packaging and tea was perfect to put me asleep with my jet lag.

i bought a lemon green for myself and my mum is loving the morning time i got her for christmas.

hello echo

i’m in new york for a couple of days before flying back to europe… i can’t wait to see all the christmas decorations, do a little shopping and catch up with family and friends. it’s weird to switch from shorts, flip flops and bikini to boots, sweater and scarf – but  a month without mosquitoes sounds pretty good!

i took this picture in madison square park last time i was in new york, the serene looking statue by spanish artist jaume plensa. it’s kind of magical, you can’t stop but be attracted to it – and it looks like it’s not really there. hve you seen it?
