Im Susana, or Su ... or even Suvelle as some of my readers so affectionately call me.Im the mother of a beautiful boy, Rafael, and two little twin ballerinas, Cristina and Sofia. Im married to my soul mate, the perfect man to be my companion and father of my children and whose only flaw is never wanting to be on the other side of the camera {but nothing a loving wife cant deal with}Im always doing something and between my children, ballet, photography or even recovery of antique furniture, I can always find time to get lost between pots and pans in my kitchen.With a grandmother that was a baker her whole life and a childhood between the ovens of the village and the olive groves and vineyards fields that never ended, it was inevitable for me to realize it was in a simple life in the countryside, surrounded by nature, animals and simplicity where I would find complete happiness for me and for my family.And thats why Nuno and I took the decision to leave the city and head to the countryside with our children.I like to wake up in the morning and hear the rooster, I like the smell of fresh linen, I like old houses, vintage china and flowers on the windows. I like the village traditions, the freshly baked bread aroma, I like to give the "good day" and fresh eggs straight from the chicken. I like the green and the trees and the pure simplicity that this life has to offer us.I have no big plans for the future of this space. But here I tell a little of our life course, here I share a little about myself and my family. I will mostly continue to share the recipes that make us happy and the photography that is already part of our daily lives.Enjoy and do come back.
