Je veux du chocolat!

When life is in black and white

my thoughts turn to chocolate!

Writing out a new recipe and getting out my best quality dark chocolate!

Here is one of my favourite chocolate cookbooks too!

We know that dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), releases

natural feel-good chemicals called endorphins in the brain!

Dark chocolate contains flavonoids which act as antioxydants

which protect the body from aging caused by free radicals.

So if you're feeling blue, get some good quality dark chocolate

take a square or two and let it melt slowly and deliciously in your mouth

 and life will soon seem rosy again!

My life, right now.

Summertime means reading on the balcony surrounded

by my flowers and sipping peppermint or lemon verbena tea.

Deliciousness in every way!

Creating things with my crochet hook and soft colourful yarns

is something I really enjoy.

The current project is a pastel-coloured mandala to brighten a dark corner in my home.

Photography has become my passion!

The more I practice, the more I learn...

and the more I learn, the more I want to leave my comfort zone

and tread the untrodden path.

The art of photography brings me into total awareness

of the now.

Breakfast outside, facing the trees in a nearby small park

hearing the birds sing

and savouring the moment!

Now that's what I call Living with a capital L!
