On Sunday, we escaped the city noise! We took the day off and run into Alentejo with some friends! They want to buy a "weekend house" (do you know this expression?! a house where one spends weekends and holidays), in a small village called Viana do Alentejo, so they invited us to go too and check some of what's for sale. Viana do Alentejo is a traditional village where times loses itself through the narrow stone paved streets aged by hundreds' feet generations and not at all prepared for cars or any other noisy mechanic way of moving. Everything is calm and relaxed. It was hot and people where indoors trying to escape the sun that we, who live at seaside sooo miss.
We saw some interesting properties. One of them was a 19th century house that stood on 15 000m2 piece of land, with a romantic rustic garden and filled with amazing details: 4 kind of medieval fireplaces, 1m thick walls, arched shaped hallways, doorways and ceilings, thick wood doors and windows, a huge 3m deep swimming pool, an old water-main and cistern, hundreds of several fruit trees (nuts, oranges, olives, lemons,...) and a vineyard.
Our friends were amazed and i loved the feeling of it all. But i would never buy it! Call me a fool; call me superstitious; call me silly!! ; but i do belive in the power of energy one gives to a certain place! And ... old houses are filled with soo many different energies!! Who knows what happened there!; what people who lived there felt or lived!; what the builter or the 1st owner wanted or dreamed! Call it ghosts; call it whatever you want! ... but sorry... but no such houses for me!!! The only old houses i would live in would be the ones that are in my family for generations (and one of them is from 1787)!
Am i being silly?! My husband says i am!...
Anyway... took the opportunity to take several pictures on details that i love soo much.
Thanks sooooooo much for all the nice comments on previous posts and hope you all have a new week filled with good strong positive energy!
People say that every day is a new world, a new journey, a new discovery! Well, it's absolutely true! Just look what i fell in love with this week:
* fluffy rococo beds;
*extremely big glass walls;
* unusually and original fabric lamp shades;
* wooden bath tubs;
* amazing original photos like this one.
Last but not least! This is my greatest passion at the moment! I found it by chance and just can't get enough of it. LOVE LOVE LOVE this music:
A lovely Sunday and hope you fall in love with something/someone too.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT! YOU ARE WELCOME ANYTIME!
