Waking up to a sunny and warm sun room this morning,
was soothing and restful, after two tiring days of non-stop
preparations for a luncheon the day before.
As an added bonus, the little bouquet of narcissus,
a sweet gift from one of the farmers we buy our produce from,
filled the room with a fresh and subtle fragrance.
These petite and pretty flowers can be found growing
in patches, in the hilly fields and mountains of Crete,
during the cooler, winter months.
It's the season for citrus, too! These particular oranges went directly from my aunt's tree to my table! Along with the lemons and limes,
they are juicy and boast a most beautiful perfume.
Prince Richard, taking advantage of the sunny rays, after four grey and gloomy days of rain, sits appreciatively, while the almond blossoms in the background twinkle like pink, silky snowflakes in the sunlight,
a whiff of their allure, intriguing to both
wandering passersby and admiring locals.
As I sat quietly, indulging in the simple luxuries that surrounded me, a floating essence of coffee and hazelnut sailed in from the kitchen. Although familiar, this infusion never fails to surprise me, with its rich, delicious flavour and aromatic air. After a few sips, I retreated back to the sun room, the perfect place to daydream,
amid the cheery wildflowers and through the java steam.
Wishing you a beautiful week ahead!
Thanks for visiting!
