Horses are healing

Horses have always been my big love. It just makes my day to spend a day around them and to feed them. They have such a calming energy like nothing else. I am happy to live in rural France, not too far from the city but not too close either. I just love to be able to spend time in the nature whenever I want. Do you know what I mean?

Kone boli vzdy mojou velkou laskou. Je to to najlepsie stravit den spolu s nimi a krmit ich. Maju taku upokojujucu energiu ako asi nic ine. Som rada ze zijem na vidieku vo Francuzsku, nie prilis daleko od mesta ale zase nie az tak blizko. Rada travim cas v prirode kedykolvek sa mi zachce. Viete co  myslim?

I have missed my time with Isidor.
I have to make more time for riding. New year's resolution! Have a wonderful Sunday all!

Chybalo mi to travit cas s mojim Isidorom. Musim si spravit viac casu na jazdenie. Novorocne predsavzatie! Peknu nedelu vam vsetkym!

Blizzard weather

 Today started like a nice day. A perfect day for sledding down the hill which we did and had a lot of fun. It was snowing the whole time and the atmosphere was perfect.

Dnesok zacal dobre. Krasny den na sankovanie co sme aj spravili a poriadne sme sa bavili. Cely cas snezilo a bola nadherna atmosfera.

Children love snow and dogs too :) . Well at least Micho loves it. Such a perfect day to go out and have fun in the snow. It's what makes great memories..

Deti zboznuju sneh a psi tiez :) . Teda aspon Micho ho zboznjuje. Taky fajn den byt vonka a hrat sa v snehu. Z tychto chvil su potom uzastne spomienky...

 I had so much fun going down the hill too. Definitely reminded me of my childhood.

Ja som si uzila sankovania tiez.  Pripomenulo mi to detstvo.

When we got home later in the afternoon the weather turned into a complete blizzard and it felt just right to be inside, cozy and warm looking at all that snow just through the window with a cup of coffee.

Ked sme sa poobede vratili domov pocasie sa zmenilo na snehovu burku a bolo prijemne byt dnuka, v teple a pozorovat vsetok ten sneh len cez okno so salkou kavy.

Now it feels like real winter is here and I remember every day more and more why i love this season so much. Stay warm people!

Teraz to vyzera, ze naozajstna zima je tu a kazdym dnom si viac a viac spominam preco mam toto obdobie tak rada. Nech vam je teplo!

Home

Yesterday's trip to Nancy was good but I am really happy to be back home to enjoy the snowy day.
Big cities are great but it's always nice to get out of the crowded places and have my space and tranquillity. I can think more and focus better. It's my little quiet paradise. The view of the forest and seeing the birds and horses around is so healing. Micho loves it too.

Vcerajsi vylet do Nancy bol pekny ale som rada ze som spat doma a mozem si uzit snehu. Velke mesta su super ale je stale fajn vyjst z preludnenych miest  a mat moj vlastny priestor a pokoj. Viac rozmyslam a viem sa lepsie sustredit. Je to moj maly tichy raj. Vyhlad na les a pohlad na vtaky a kone dookola je taky liecivy. Micho to ma tiez rad.

We had a nice walk in the snow with Micho and a little snowball fight too. I love this season. With the snow everything feels better.

Vysli sme si na dobru prechadzku s Michom a bola aj mala gulovacka. Milujem toto obdobie. So snehom je vsetko lepsie.

It is sad though that the Christmas decorations have to go down soon. Now it's finally starting to look really Christmassy here.  I might keep them up for longer just for myself :) .

Je ale smutne ze vianocne ozdoby budu musiet ist o chvilu dole. Teraz to tu konecne zacina vyzerat Vianocne. Mozno si ich necham trosku dlhsie len pre seba :) .

And this is what I got yesterday in Nancy. Some pajamas and tops in H&M for Alexandre and some shirts for myself.

A toto som vcera doniesla z Nancy. Nejake pyzamka a svetre pre Alexandra a par kosiel pre mna.

I also got this blue velvet backpack in Zara and I am in love with it.
What do you think?

A tiez tento modry zamatovy ruksak zo Zary velmi sa z neho tesim.
Co na to hovorite?

Snow finally

Finally it's here. So much expected snow :) . Everything turned white and peaceful and so quiet.

 Konecne je to tu. Tak velmi ocakavany sneh :) . Vsetko sa premenilo na biele pokojne ticho.

 I love these moments in the winter when everything goes white and the whole world stops for a moment. I love that fairytale feeling. It reminds me of my childhood. Is it snowing where you are?

Mam rada tieto okamihy v zime, ked je odrazu vsetko biele a svet na chvilu zastane. Zboznujem ten rozpravkovy pocit.  Pripomina mi detstvo. Snezi aj u vas?

The sale in this part of France starts today which is the earliest in France!

Tomorrow a planned trip to Nancy. I'll let you know how it was . Have a lovely evening everyone!

Vypredaje v tejto casti Francuzska zacinaju dnes, co je naskor v celom Francuzsku!

Zajtra planovany vylet do Nancy.Dam vam vediet ako dopadol. Pekny vecer vam vsetkym!

 A proper wintry food but still trying to stay healthy. Lentil soup and some sweet potato fries for dinner tonight.

Prave zimne jedlo, ale stale zdrave. Sosovicova polievka a hranolky zo sladkych zemiakov.

Christmas songs

One of the things I love the most about this season are the Christmas songs. Usually I like to just turn the radio on and listen to the songs that they play to get myself in the Christmas mood in December, but here in France the Christmas songs are almost non existent on the radio. In general it is really hard to find good music in France on the radio and I had to stock up the car with tons of cds for roadtrips to literally not go crazy from the bad French music. Don't get me wrong France has many good points including good food, good wine, good chocolates... but music is not one of them, unfortunatelly. These are some of the Christmas songs that get me into the festive spirit.

Jedna z veci co mam na tomto obdobi najradsej su vianocne pesnicky. Zvycajne len zapnem radio a pocuvam co hraju a dostanem sa v Decembri do vianocnej nalady, ale tu vo Francuzsku su vianocne pesnicky a koledy v radiu skor raritou. V celku je dost tazke najst vo Francuzsku dobru hudbu v radiu a musela som zasobovat auto cdckami na cesty aby sme sa doslova nezblaznili z toho ze omielaju stale tych istych 10 pesniciek dookola. Nechapte to zle Francuzsko ma vela dobrych stranok vratane dobreho jedla, dobreho vina, dobrej cokolady.... ale hudba nie je jednou z nich,bohuzial. Tu je zopar pesniciek ktore mi hned navodia vianocnu atmosferu.
