Happy Sunday everybody!
This is a half pre-written post, as I am spending these days vacationing in Croatia.
Here’s what it looks like at the moment.

Insert beach photo here, which I did not have the chance to take yet, for we are locked in by the rain, so this rainy view from our window will have to do for now, the Adriatic sea is right there behind the trees. Not good, I know, but we have yet another week to wait for the sun. We have tested the water though, and it’s already perfect.
Follow my Instagram next week for more, I can’t wait to upload some sunshiny vacation photos, even though I am totally not the kind of gal who spends her vacation on social media. 🙂
Now, your Sunday reading is ready and served…
