Amalfi Coast

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can and never forget the colours... 

Amalfi Coast is one of my most treasured and favourite travel destinations. 
Three years ago i spent one week on a scooter with Matt discovering and exploring towns, coves, restaurants and beaches. That memory has stayed with us and we have always waited to return. 


On the week end the time finally arrived and i was given a thousand reasons to smile... We were returning to Amalfi Coast! 
So Friday morning we were up early, the hire car was picked up and we started the three hour road trip from Rome to Sorrento. When we arrived in Sorrento the first stop was to pick up our hire scooters. After dropping our bags off to the hotel we were off on the scooter to get the exploring started. 


Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi are just three of the many towns that outline the breathtaking Coast. Living in Rome is fantastic however in the summertime it is difficult to not be surrounded by water. When i saw the first bit of coast peeping through the olive trees on the week end, my heart started beating quickly and all my feelings of freedom, happiness and peace rushed back to me. 


Seeing the Amalfi Coast on a scooter is the most amazing experience and definitely is one of life's highs, you are not stuck in traffic, the wind is in your face, you can stop easily every two seconds and take photos. hahah 


Amalfi Coast holds a very special place in my heart along with Lake Como. 
I am feeling very blessed as we are returning to Amalfi Coast next week end to do it all over again.

Sun Flower Season

Throughout Europe the Sunflowers are blooming in every part of the countryside.

I took these photos in Tuscany. 

They are so bright and beautiful. You know summer is here when you see 
these flowers popping up everywhere...

Adele

I am in love with Adele's Album. 

One And Only lyrics

You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face

God only knows
Why it's taken me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know, if you never try
To forgive your past, and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be, your
Your one and only
Promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name

Will I ever know
How it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared
Cos I've been here before
Every feeling every word
I've imagined it all

You'll never know
If you never try
To forgive your past
And simply be mine


I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart

So I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts
Come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts
