Another Beautiful Sunday

Beautiful World ....amazing Sunday
In my ordeal of exploring and looking for my piece of the beautiful world or things that make it really beautiful , around me this Sunday was a feather in the cap. After a glorious weekend last Sunday, at the carnival, where laughter and music filling the air this quite Sunday atop a hill was a striking contrast. But it sure was a pleasure as my family and a few friends lazed around under the beautiful blue sky, on a lush green carpet of grass, as the suntanned us, almost beyond recognition. It just gave my poor old bones, which had shriveled up thanks to the cold another opportunity to stretch out to their maximum length. Woopy I have finally had two successive fun-filled weekends.


A lane of lilies in full bloom.
We spent our day at a beautiful little homestead called Sherlock, near Ooty. The weather was perfect, the food just yum, and of course the company just awesome.



The air here is so clean that you can see for miles across. The picturesque view being too perfect to be true.




The rooms, sorry didn’t click any pictures, though I promise to do so when we visit the homestead again, have an old-world Victorian charm. The wooden flooring, French windows overlooking the lush green valley below together with a little fireplace ready to be to set on fire, all make the rooms cozy and really inviting. I can hardly wait for my next visit and stay and 'am really looking forward to sitting out in the lawns and sipping my cup of tea as I bask in the mellow sun. For those of you wanting to run away from the exhausting, traffic jam-filled , smog clogged, noisy metropolis this would be a refreshing change.

Beautiful World: The Wellington Winter Carnival

In my search for discovering beautiful things around me , the Wellington winter carnival definitely fits in. A beautiful sunny morning , loads of happy people and music around, and the bright and colorful stalls all making it into a picture perfect day. Loads of craftsmen and vendors from in and around Wellington , Nilgiris, had gather to sell and showcase their stuff. Wellington is a quiet little village close to Coonoor with most of its evergreen hills covered wit tea gardens.This beautiful heaven on earth has a beautiful and rich military history to add to its charm.









As I settle down with my cup to tea in my cosy room to share this event with you, all the shouting and noise that filled the air this morning still rings through my ears. A picture perfect setting for a picture perfect event.

I also did my share of buying and bought some beautiful roles of crochet lace and I am really excited about the new projects in which I am going to use them.










I got yards and yards of this gorgeous lace.

The evening sun




Just sharing a few snaps of the beautiful evening sun. Love the way the sun's rays come from between the hill ranges causing shadows and making the landscape even more beautiful.This little sleepy village basking in the golden light just before the dark covers it.

As we woke up in the morning the clouds from the previous night’s rain were still lingering around, and the air being a bit nippy made the m...
