    We hope you spent a wonderful Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. Ours was in London and somehow, this city never fails to work its magic on us. Even though it rained constantly, during the Christmas day it was truly a challenge to find a restaurant open and on Boxing Day there was a general strike, we managed to have some memorable moments. Such as being part of the Christmas procession at St. Paul's Cathedral and listening to the magnificent choir. Or entering by chance the smallest and most intimate church on Christmas Eve at midnight and feel the unique spirit of Christmas . And, of course, the endless suite of hot coffees and teas served at windowed cafés when juicy conversations stalled just to admire the eclectic crowd that strolled the streets relentlessly. 

Sometimes a city break is all we need to get over the daily routine and to feel that life is actually wonderful as long as we surround ourselves with the right people and we get to be in the right place. And if it happens to be during Christmas time... then it's just perfect :)

 Now that we are heading into a new year and before preparing our Wish lists for 2013, let's try to be grateful for all good things that 2012 brought in our lives, for all the interesting people that we have met, for all the amazing places we have seen and for all the life experiences that brought us here and now and above all for having all possible means to fulfill our dreams in the year to come. 



Love,
