A philosophic Australian writes here, one who admits to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics, but scratch the surface and you'll find I am a practical Environmentalist with an Egalitarian bent trying to unleash a little creativity.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I am Australian. Travel broadens the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid reader, I enjoy photography, writing and a variety of crafts, particularly traditional art forms. You are always welcome to stop by at S.t.P.A.

What a gorgeous smile & that is the most magnificent ginger bread house I have ever seen, so cool.
Happy New year to you & yours I hope its as magical & extravagant as that gingerbread house.
Thank you, Linda. It was not spectacular but it went off smoothly. I had to let go of traditions to make it happen. But that is okay. My memories of my little girl with this gingerbread house in Switzerland back in 2011 make up for that. How was yours?
Its odd when traditions don’t happen & its such a relief to have traditions to look back on. Ours was great quietly fun, I promised my horse.Zina I wont ride until I have lost some Christmas day kilos.lol
Oh the increase in weight gain is the downside of Xmas. I have been dieting a little in preparation for the expected hike in the number on the bathroom scales!
She’s so cute!
