Winter

Winter

Northern Winds  ❄️💨

  The souverain winter arrived with majesty and the previously colourful landscape became white and pale.The northern wind freezes the forests and the prairies. The enchanted song of the flowing water is no more to be heard.

There is no easy life for the birds and the beasts of the field. No more swallows, nor flowers not even butterflies; however, winter brings not only sadness.

- Mom, why does it snow? - Questioned Marie whilst shaking the globe.´

- It snows because it is too much cold. Mother’s homeland only had snow in the mountains and then the temperature dropped drastically. - Responded Jasmine.

- Mom, shall we go outside? Please, I really want to try my ice skates. - Begged Marie.

(…)

 The ice was stiff, dry and deep.

  Marie tried ice-skating but that’s not a simple task!In the picture, her mother skated so gracefully and elegantly!

  Certainly after Marie gets a couple of lessons to control her balance,  everything will work out just fine! 

Snow

A touch of magic ❄️

 The landscape outside had changed. The town woke up this morning dressed in a white robe.

- Mummy, mummy is snowing. - The kids screamed as they jumped on the country bed.

- Go back to sleep. - Jasmine said.

- But mother? - Marie insisted.

- I’m very tired from the trip. - Jasmine argued.

(…)

- Dad, Daddy.- Called Jimmy.

- There’s already a request on the way. - Said Josh, laughing.- But, anyways, say it.

- Can we go play in the snow? - Asked little Jimmy.

- After lunch can it be? I’m just finishing a report. - Josh said.

Shang Simla

Call my heart forever...🏮

 I felt a great peace of mind in this place almost forgotten since the first contact I had made on the floor.

 It was difficult to explain however I felt that a part of me had belonged to this place full of traditions.

 I believe I could stay here forever if I did not have a life away from here. The memories of certain were to be kept and recorded in photographs for when the longing beats I could revive the memory, after all to remember is to live...

  My dear, Shang Simla I will take you forever in my heart. Shang Simla

Theatre 

The Nutcracker 🎭

- Honey, the company offered me two tickets for the ballet tonight at the theatre. Do you want to go? - Said Jasmine.

 - And the kids? Who will they stay with? - Asked Josh.

 - We could hire a babysitter? - Said Jasmine.

 - But how are we going to arrange that at the last minute? - Asked Josh.

Environmental Studies 

A dedicated student 🎓

 Christmas Holidays were already in the corner, however, the school tasks in this season doubled.

 The teachers give countless homework, surveys, group work... nevertheless, the worst part was the test period and the assessments which started that week. Evaluation forms almost everyday represented a real nightmare for any student.

Surprise!

Back home! ❤️ 

- Sweetheart, wake up! You fell asleep on the couch.

 - Let me sleep, daddy.

 - It’s too late, let’s go to bed.

 (…) 

Knock! Knock! 

 - But who could it be at such a late hour? Thought Josh to himself. 

 - Baby?! You’re back! Yelled Josh in astonishment. – Why didn’t you send a note to pick you up at the station?

 - It wouldn’t be a surprise then! Did you miss me?! 

 - No need to ask, silly! 

 - I love you for a thousand years.
