Search Results for: "flowers"
It’s a moody wednesday
So the other day I had a brilliant idea. I would buy some beautiful fresh flowers in Holland for the upcoming Urban Jungle Bloggers October edition (it will be all about Plants & Flowers!).

île de Ré
This was probably the happiest day of our trip to the West Coast. The sun was out and we visited the island of Ré. I've heard so many friends raving about this place ever since we moved to France so I was really curious to discover what it was all about. And l'Île de Ré Read article…

By popular demand I gathered some of my favorite places in London (oh and I also updated my Paris tips!): As usual my first citrytrip tip is: simply walk around.
