Summer Wine in Winter

With those summer wine thoughts looking through the rainfall or over the snowfall, please enjoy this wonderful song which was performed by Nancy Sinatra in the late 1960’s with the writer Lee Hazelwood, and then later in 2008 by Andrea Corr and Bono. I blush (si, Elisabet blushes) at some of the lyrics but hope we have become close enough that I may share it.

Hola! Welcome to Wine & Kissing

What could be more important in life than Wine and Kissing?  Probably quite a few things…paz, love and understanding? Babies, children and more peace. Nature, happiness and the earth. Truth, beauty, health, kindness, charity, wisdom. I’m sure there are more. But can we agree or at least consider, that if we make a place for wine and kissing, there may also be more of an opening for some, if not all, of these other things in our lives?

This is a place for wine and kissing inspiration. A place where we hope you will come for provocative poems, wines, kissing stories and romantic kissing venues. We also welcome you to join in with a wine and kissing story or story of your own. Or retell someone else’s story…or make something up! Some of these stories may become part of the Wine & Kissing book.

Most importantly, tonight or tomorrow, but before a fortnight has passed, be intent upon kissing someone who looks kissable to you, accompanied by a wine that you have selected based on your anticipation of those kisses.  Adelante!

Un beso dulce,

elisabet-alhambra

That doesn’t mean we get invited on every adventure, but we’re in the inner circle of trusted friends. There we see into hearts, souls and travel on journeys in old cars through streets that look like a Cuban city lost in time.
