New beginnings - Uusia alkuja



Hello all and a very Happy New Year to you! 

About a month ago, I turned this blog private (open to invited readers only) but the things didn't go as smoothly as I had planned. :) There were problems both in sending and accepting the invitations and what was most bothering, the new posts weren't showing up even in my own reading list... so the choice was between quitting blogging altogether or coming back... and so here I am again. I have so many things to share with you, time permitting!

The weather here has been incredibly cloudy (and because of that not very cold) for almost two months now, so I have chosen some sunny photos for this post, taken by the correspondent of "Villa Emilia" in Rome. :)


Hei ja onnellista uutta vuotta! "Villa Emilia" -blogi näkyy nyt taas kaikille... Yksityisen blogin pitäminen ei ollut toimiva ratkaisu. Kutsujen lähettäminen ja hyväksyminen oli hankalaa. Lisäksi aloin pian kaivata mahdollisuutta tuoda esille, vaikka vain näin pienesti, ajatuksiani ja mielipiteitäni. :)  Osallistun myös innokkaasti uuteen, hauskaan Helmet-haasteeseen, vaikka edellinen jäikin "hieman" kesken.

Kiitän lämpimästi blogista kiinnostuneita lukijoitani. 🤍 Nähdään pian!

  6. It's interesting to see beautiful photos of my favourite city when there are still blue skies in the historic centre, but fewer crowds than usual. Buon anno 2020 Sara!

  9. Hej Sara!

    Ja, jag noterade att din blogg inte lyftes upp på listan, trodde att det var jag som gjort något fel men hur som helst, glad att du är tillbaka.
    Här har det också varit ett gråväder i 3 månader, varmt och mörkt. Häromdagen var det 10 plusgrader, helt galet vid denna tid på året.
    Det har varit så mörkt så det är meningslöst att gå ut med en kamera, riktigt trist när det blir så.

    Önskar dig en god fortsättning på det nya året!

  13. I am very glad to see a post from you. I have tried to access your blog via the invitation, but was never successful. Technology is sometimes very confusing.
    Wonder photos of Rome. We had a mostly sunny first day of January, but the clouds are bringing in rain for the next week, so I'll soak up sunshine via photos! Happy New Year, dear Sara!

  16. The blue skies and Rome are wonderful. So sad that your winter has been grey so far. I have a treasured memory of a winter several years ago when you froze tulips in ice!

  17. I have never been to Italy but these photos make me even more determined to do so. We have spent the holidays in what is normally sunny and warm Arizona but it has been rainy and cloudy every day! We still had an enjoyable time, though. Happy New Year to you!

  20. I was so honored to have been one of your invited guests for you blog. I was able access it, but could not leave a comment. I thought that it was supposed to be that way. I should have emailed you. I am glad that you back; I do enjoy your photography and story telling and seeing your home. Happy New Year.

  21. Que maravilla Sara. Me encanta la primera foto. Estuvimos en Italia, solo visitamos Florencia Pisa y Pontedera que es donde está el museo Piaggio de Vespa. Sí comimos mucha rica pizza:))
    Me alegra tu vuelta de esta forma,
    Buen 2020 amiga.
    Un abrazo.
