Stroke – act FAST

We’ve all heard of “heart attacks” but have you heard of a “brain attack”? The National Health Service of the UK had a publicity campaign a few years ago about stroke, where they “rebranded” strokes to try and teach the public that they need to act fast if they suspect somebody is having one.

Expat friendship – or instant family
14/05/2014 by 4 Comments
Recently, a few tricky situations forced me to actually ask for help from someone I had only met about one year ago. And I was immediately offered a helping hand, right then and there, at the moment I needed it the most. After that, I started to ask myself questions about the meaning of the new bonds expatriates create. […]
Let’s move – outdoors

May. Perhaps my favourite month of the year. Green, blooming, friendly sunshine… I spend as much time as I can outside, making my terrace comfortable. Pillows, furs and blankets, candles and seasonal flowers, a book and a cup of coffee – I’m in heaven. I also brought out a mirror this time, an old window […]

A book a month

It’s World Book Night, and that is about “giving books and encouraging those who have lost the love of reading – or are yet to gain it – to pick up a book and read.” CLEW picks a monthly treat for you among the many anticipated books of 2014. The April treat (OK, we’ll throw in one […]
Picture picture on the wall
21/04/2014 by Leave a Comment
A trend that I see more and more often is a picture wall, or a memory wall if you prefer. Instead of hanging up only one item, try to find pieces that look good together and then group them on the wall. They will make a great statement and focal point.

Luxembourg has a long Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) history, from the very first contest in 1956 up until 1993. Many famous names have performed for Luxembourg; Nana Moskouri, France Gall, Vicky Leandros, Baccara, Lara Fabian and Modern Times among others. Luxembourg has won 5 times, and the perhaps most well known song is Poupée de cire, […]
