When I spotted a woman in a beautiful coat at a shopping centre in Cambridge last autumn, I couldn't imagine that she would become my friend very soon. She spoke Croatian with her sister and niece who got a job in Cambridge. Linda and her sister invited me to a dinner in a typically spontaneous Croatian way, and that's how it started. We found that we have a lot in common, and among other things we have daughters of about the same age who have the same name. In Cambridge, I hang out with Linda's niece, who is close to my daughter in age, so I find myself having maternal feelings for her. Linda immediately started reading faithfully and following my blog which she often comments on.
In addition to the Blog-WhatsApp gathering, Linda invited me as a guest to her apartment in Bol on the island of Brač. I did not accept that because of the space available, but I still came with my daughter and brother to the island of Brač, in the town of Supetar. We visited Linda and Bol yesterday and from there are these wonderful photos. For those who do not know, the beach "Golden horn" in Bol is one of, if not the most famous Croatian beach. Footage from the mountain was taken from “Vidova gora” above Bol. Yesterday, we spent the day on the "Golden horn" beach, and we ended the day with dinner with Linda and her daughter in the restaurant "Santo". The day was wonderful, especially getting to see Linda. I thank her on this occasion.
Love,
Kristina

Od Cambridgea do Bola
Kad sam prošlu jesen u Cambridgeu u jednom šoping centru zapazila ženu po lijepom kaputu nisam mogla pretpostaviti da će mi vrlo skoro postati prijateljica. Pričala je hrvatski sa svojom sestrom i nećakinjom koja se zaposlila u Cambridgeu. Linda i njezina sesra su me tipično spontano-hrvatski pozvale na večeru u Cambridgeu i tako je krenulo. Otkrile smo da imamo puno toga zajedničkog, a između ostalog imamo kćeri približno iste dobi koje imaju isto ime. U Cambridgeu se družim sa Lindinom nećakinjom koja je po godinama bliska mojoj kćeri pa se uhvatim se da za nju imam materinske osjećaje. Linda je odmah počela vjerno čitati i pratiti moj blog koji nerijetko komentira.
Uz to Blog-WhatsApp druženje Linda me pozvala kao gosta u svoj apartman u mjestu Bol na otoku Braču. Nisam to prihvatila radi prostora, ali sam ipak sa svojom kćeri i bratom došla na otok Brač, u mjesto Supetar. Jučer smo posjetili Lindu i Bol i od tamo su ove divne fotografije. Za one koji su manje upućeni, plaža “Zlatni rat” u Bolu je jedna od, ako ne i najpoznatija hrvatska plaža. Snimke sa planine napravljene se sa “Vidove gore” iznad Bola. Jučerasnji dan proveli smo na plaži “Zlatni rat”, a dan smo završili večerom sa Lindom i njezinom kćeri u restoranu “Santo” u Bolu. Dan je bio divan kao i druženje sa Lindom. Ovom joj prilikom kažem hvala.
S ljubavlju,
Kristina
