Inspiration From The Web

April is coming to an end and while we are waiting for the upcoming May, which I sincerely hope will bring warmer and sunnier spring days, I decided to prepare a little relaxing reading that includes all my favorites from the web in April and some interesting events coming up in May. So take 10 minutes for a well-deserved rest, sit comfortably, make a cup of tea and boldly embark on the vast world of the web and discover something new in the categories - YouTube, Events, New Hobbies, Initiatives.

I. YouTube - TheCottageFairy

An extremely inspiring channel that shows the life of a young girl who has chosen to live away from the noise and bustle of the big city, amidst nature, plants and the beauty of unadulterated moments. If you often think about escaping even for a while from the city, take a look at the videos and you will surely be inspired by the simplicity and charm of the days in nature in the small fairytale cottage in the mountains. 

II. Initiatives - Be a city gardener in support of the Solidarity Kitchen in Sofia

For some time now I have been trying to create something like a tradition of participating in various useful initiatives at least once a month. An initiative that I would be happy to join in May is under the motto "Be a city gardener in support of the Solidarity Kitchen in Sofia". "Garden for Friendship" is the first and fastest growing communal garden in Sofia, where everyone can grow their own food and be part of a cohesive society dedicated to mutual assistance and understanding. Every weekend the solidarity garden needs a few extra pairs of hands and open hearts to help cultivate the land and grow potatoes, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, onions. See more about the initiative.

III. New hobby - Herbarium

With the coming spring and the more and more colorful meadows, my desire to learn a little more about making a herbarium and using them for various do-it-yourself projects and decorations was unlocked. For all plant lovers, this hobby can be extremely interesting and unloading, plus it includes long walks in nature in search of the most beautiful flowers for herbarium. Here is some additional knowledge from experts in the field

IV. Events - Wine and gourmet in Plovdiv

Until recently, events were limited to the online space only, but now they are slowly moving into the open again. Here is an upcoming event in May that caught my eye and I will definitely do my best to be able to attend - "Wine and Gourmet" Parade on May 8 and 9 in Plovdiv. The event is a wonderful occasion to meet for a glass of wine and delicious food with good friends, among the greenery in the courtyards of the Revival houses in the Old Town. See more about the event
