Good News Already On The First Day Of 2013 !

This year will get better and better...

The suspense of the " Fiscal Cliff " is finally over and the outcome seems good. Disaster has been averted and personally I believe the prosperous times have arrived !

One can almost feel the collective sigh of relief around the world. Somehow I think that today the Stock Markets will have a record day and some of you will make a tidy profit.

The first day of this year was a glorious and sunny one. Par for the course, here in our corner of Burgenland. It might be a bit cold but the sun usually smiles on us. Walking around the vineyards yesterday, showed me that I am not the only one who thinks this place is great.

Vienna is only about 2 hours by car from here and a few made the trip here for the New Year. Clever really, as they are in the midst of the vineyards and its fabulous wines and are able to walk between the restaurant and their abodes. A real drawing point in these times...remember us for your next party !

Wouldn't it be a fantastic idea, for wine-connoisseurs to come here for a weekend. A weekend involving a physical workout...walking between the renowned wine estates and lifting the wine-filled glasses to taste !

Well, appropriately enough, we have a group of young " Winzers " or Winemakers, who by the way sell their delectable wines all over the world , with the
collective name of " Deutsch-Schuetzer Six-Pack"...need I say more ?

Even in Winter, the vineyards have a certain charm.

I just love the colours !

First Of January 2013...The Good Times Are Here.

Great to be in Burgenland.

This is already our second New Year in Burgenland and it is extremely apt when they say : " Time flies when you are having fun ". Shamefully, I have to admit that Bob and I were asleep before midnight, but we semi-awoke for the fireworks, of which there were plenty, even in our small village.

Right now, there must be millions of ' New Year's ' resolutions being made. A few of those have most likely already been broken and the others not too far off. Extreme pressure to have and follow a resolution, which multiplies by a vast amount, if we stupidly announce the resolution in public !

Well, I for one, have not made one. It is my firm belief that from now on the Good Times are here. Not just here in Burgenland but all over the World. This year is the start of it. For some, it will still take a bit of time, but better times are on the way !

It is now time for all of us to be happy and embrace life. Instead of trying to change one little ' negative ' thing, celebrate all the good and positive things you have.

Eat what you like without feeling guilty. Remember that the majority of men love a woman with lots of curves and only a very small amount of men like the idea of a " Supermodel " body .

Languish on the couch all day ( nursing the hangover ) in your Pyjamas, read your favourite novel or watch a great movie ( Bridget Jones's Diary (Collector's Edition) )...The point is to just BE and do away with the guilt !

Dear readers, Happy New Year to you all of you.

The great & exciting road ahead...
