My sister and I braved a freezing January night in Budapest for a packed house at the Erkel Theatreβ€”an all-English Middle-earth music event (a rare treat here). From Shire whimsy to Mordor menace, it felt like stepping into Tolkien’s world. Worth every frostbitten step! πŸƒβ„οΈ #LOTR #MiddleEarth

Who says Lake Balaton is only a summer destination? Just look at this breathtaking winter wonderland in Keszthely.

Two days ago: fresh off a dog walk with SΓΌmi, rocking my finest hat hair but couldn’t resist stopping for a cheeky mug of forralt bor (mulled wine) in the dazzling Budapest sunshine.

Today: freezing cold, bundled up like a burrito, and wondering how I ever believed winter could be so kind. πŸ₯Ά

Canadian House of Commons Member Charlie Angus: In our country, we believe healthcare should be accessible to all, while assault weapons should not. You clearly don’t share that viewpoint… We don’t want what you’re selling, Donald.
