More for it's structure than it's comfort. If I had this, it wouldn't be my main seating area. I love looking at the newspapered wall, though I doubt I would replicate this in my place as it will look cramped. <br />
<br />
I took the house tour. And this house is calling out to me. I love the nostalgia it exudes. Sparsely furnished in some areas (as I like it). And with lovely touches of salvaged trinkets here and there. <br />

There is quite a lot of abandoned/unused houses in Santorini.....Just waiting for you perhaps? Imagine, a holiday home overlooking the caldera and a private balcony to view the famous Santorini sunsets. hmmmm. But I still wonder how they get through the rainy seasons there. I'd probably be forever slipping on those marble steps.<br />

The huge amount of antiquities, and you can't help but imagine what it would have been like to lived during the times when Zeus was worshipped and these ruins are still gleaming. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Maybe it was something like this. All white and shiny... <br />

But amidst all that splendour, there is still find time to see the beauty in the not so beautiful (can I pry those shutters off?).... <br />

Sipping wine as the sun sets, French food, getting away from it all, even just for a few days. If plans don't fail, and seriously, if this break did not push through after that ashfall ruining our plans last month, I am going to have a breakdown. If plans don't fail, I'll be posting my own photos next month.<br />

One of them is the hustle and bustle of the Camden markets on a Saturday. But little did I know that you only need to walk a bit further to find some quiet and solitude. We walked along the canal planning to do some <a href="http://londonist.com/2009/12/three_new_banksy_pieces_appear_in_c.php">Banksy</a> spotting and found this old church on the way to the London Zoo.<br />

To have ceilings like that, what would you not give? Have a look at the rest of the house tour. I am not sure of the high backed chairs though, but that lounge area is absolutely cosy.<br />

It does make you feel like the elections last quite a while, waiting almost a full week to know the results.<br />
<br />
I am nervous. The UK economy, I feel, is hanging by a thread. The Labour were not delivering, the Conservatives and Lib Dems were too weak. <br />
<br />
But now, we have a hung parliament. And I am losing hope.<br />
<br />
But, then again, one thing I've learned through the years - it's not only about the government, but also about the people. It's their resiliency, adaptability that will eventually make a difference. So, no, I am not going to roll over and die just because I do not like our leaders.fleamarketonlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15908261400511935504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246283590617422770.post-42935677055898588502010-05-06T09:52:00.001+01:002010-05-06T09:53:55.487+01:00take me to Sweden nowI also have an unhealthy love for brand new things, especially if they're gleaming white as a lot of stuff in this store - <a href="http://www.brukadesign.se/inspiration.php">Bruka Design</a>. Spotted them from <a href="http://chezlarsson.com/myblog/2010/05/a-fave-store-bruka-design.html">Chez Larsson's</a> (check out the pictures on her blog and you'll see what I mean)<br />
<br />
I am not going to Sweden anytime soon...and I think I just heard my wallet is breathing a sigh of relief.<br />

Instead we've spent time walking by the canal, sampling seafood at the Riverside Cafe and Moon & Sixpence, and listening to DADIO (jazz band) at Gascoyne's place. <br />
<br />
Ok, it wasn't all nice, I spent a bit of time stressing over First Great Western invalidating our tickets because we have to catch the next train (where here, if you miss your train and bought advance tickets, you have to buy another set of tickets - SO DON'T BUY ONLINE unless you're absolutely sure you can catch that train!). Sorry. Rant over.<br />

The sun is almost always out at noon and the birds have been consistenly waking me up in the mornings ( I really think some of them are mimicking alarm clocks noises!). But I am looking forward to beautiful flowers in window boxes.<br />

And though I don't indulge in it too much (two at most a day), I will find it almost impossible to give it up completely. I have not had coffee yet, I hope this will sustain me for a bit longer...<br />
