On the 4th of January Tessa and Derek generously opened their place, Sky River Landing, for all to enjoy! They created a lovely, lush green and colourful, garden which faces the ocean on two sides – giving it wonderful sunsets. Or sunrises, depending on what time you live of course! There are many spots to…

[europa]
When I saw the blogpost by Joi Irui this morning, about her visit to [europa] I could not wait to go there myself and have a look! I love cartoon-ish places and this one did not disappoint! [europa] is the home of the mainstore of Kaz (Kazuhiro Aridian), and a delight! Bright and happy, with…
Allied Forward Air Base – 1941 Tunisia
The Allied Forward Air Base – 1941 Tunisia, located on the WWII North sim, is a roleplay area using a specific combat system (MCE open beta). I could not find any rules or such about the roleplay, but when I visited it this morning it was all empty – giving me the time to look…
The North Pole Sleigh Ride Adventure!
First of all, I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy Holidays! If you are, like me, a bit lazy today…and have no real plans other than perhaps some more food (and drinks!), I can recommend a visit to The North Pole Sleigh Ride Adventure! I did it this morning, while waking up with…
Fruit Islands – Winterland
Back in 2008 I rented my first small tropical island on an estate called Fruit Islands. I was so proud and happy with my 768 sqm piece of paradise! The owners, Equinox and Dennis were very helpful and friendly and after a while I moved on to a bigger island..and then to half a sim!…
Vespertine – Pure Dreams
This afternoon I spent more than an hour enjoying Vespertine on the Pure Dreams sim. It is the location for the mainstore Vespertine, where you will find wonderful items for home decoration! Now, decorating is not my thing. I have decided to leave our home as it it, as I am getting too tired of wearing…
Mad City
Mad City Christmas is another gorgeous looking city created by Mad Pea Productions, this time the city is covered in snow and there are plenty of shops for some good old fashioned Christmas shopping. There is also the Holiday Havoc Hunt and and Advent Calendar with gifts, for those looking for some action and puzzles…
A Postcard Christmas
Every year when it gets near halfway December, I get a shock when realising how fast Christmas is approaching. To me it always feels like it is suddenly there, while I am still in Autumn-mode… In SL things go even faster, Christmas decorations all over the place – even before the 5th of December…in my…
The Pines at Jacobs Pond
Sometimes it is just nice to spend some time on a sim that has no ‘action’ as it were, but just…virtual peace, quiet and nature. I often look for places like that, simply to look around, frame a nice view and stare a bit at my screen while having deep and meaningful thoughts. Well, or…
Ice, Ice Baby
Well yes, I woke up with Vanilla Ice’s old song in my head. Don’t ask….and please don’t judge… To distract myself a bit from ‘stop, collaborate and listen!’ all the time, I went out for some shopping inworld and ended up at the Main Event Winter. A quite nice concept, creators sell outfits but only…
It’s cold in Samurai Village
Another re-visit, to a sim I really enjoyed while in Halloween/Autumn setting and which has now turned snow white and cold for the holiday season: Samurai Village – the private home of Ginger Krokus, is still open to all to enjoy! Ginger created a lovely winter in her City and it is surely photogenic, I…
Open House: Autumn Dreams Cottage
Oh yay! Another Open House! This time Editorial Clarity and Ricoracer Flux once again open their private getaway to the public for a few days, so if you want to go see their Autumn Dreams Cottage you may need to hurry: it will be open till Sunday 1 December! I have been to their previous…
The Trace – Winter edition
So. There. And YAY! This evening I got the IM I was secretly hoping for, for a couple of days already….Kylie Jaxxon telling me she finished transforming The Trace into winter! I literally dropped everything and hopped over, and did not get disappointed! I have been ‘awed’ by The Trace in Spring, Summer and Autumn…
Otium – Leisure and Laziness
When browsing through the Destination Guide my mouse stopped working at the ‘Popular Places’ section, instead of the Photogenic category I was looking for, but..it turned out just great otherwise I would have missed ‘Otium – Leisure and Laziness’! Otium is, according the landinformation, Latin for leisure and laziness and that is what this gorgeous…
Yuki No Yume – A Dream of Snow (closed)
Edit february 2014, this sim is now closed. This morning I was delighted to find out Jac Mornington opened his newest sim, Yuki No Yume – A Dream of Snow, to the public. A wonderful Japanese winter, a joy to walk around and explore! There are secluded spots, panoramic views, some wildlife and snow is…
Dawn of Radiance
‘The dawn has come And the wine will run And the song must be sung And the flowers are melting In the sun’ This is quoted from the land information of Dawn of Radiance, and of course they had me at ‘wine’ ! But without joking, Dawn of Radiance is a lovely sim, currently covered…
