new month

Hello Sunday, hello July.
I know you are going to be a nice month.

These photos are still pre-summer, I have hardly taken any new ones lately.

One year ago, we were in New York. I loved it so much, in spite of the unbearable heat.
These are some of my favourite photos of the trip.

Have a great evening.
I'm hoping for an aperitif on the roof terrace, hopefully accompanied by a nice breeze.

I took these at my uncle's house in Germany.

Hope you're having a good Sunday. I am; it's gotten really hot here and I'm hiding inside baking and making plans.

here again

Hello! It's been a while.

The last weeks were filled with almost nothing but my project for school. I finally handed it in last Wednesday.
I'm still tired but summer has oficially begun. When the (academic) year is over i always need some days to understand that I suddenly have all that time for myself. (Btw I hope that this will be my last summer as a student!)

These photos are from a sweet family celebration in may, with many of my lovely cousins, the best German spring weather and some great cake.

See you soon.
I want to detoxify some from the computer, but still treat this blog a bit better during the next weeks. And finally be outside taking photos again!

horses

I have quite a few more photos from Germany to show you; I'm a little behind with my photos and everything else lately.

These are from the day we went to visit our cousins who live on a farm. They have lots of horses.
I'm allergic and use to sneeze like crazy when I get near them, but I love their warmth, their colour and the noises they make.
And that they are so huge. Which also frightens me a little.
But "my" horse was 21 years old and as meek as a lamb. I took the photos so you don't get to see me riding. I wore a helmet and everything, very chic. I loved it.

back to normal

I'm back from a wonderful weekend in Germany. Only 4 days that felt like a long holiday, filled with so many people and things that I forgot about everything else. So nice and replenishing (and so difficult to get back to a normal weekday).


Some things I loved the most:

To peel kilos of tiny apples from my aunt's garden to make a cake.
I rode a horse!!
Raspberries, also from the garden.
The sun and the fresh air, especially in the morning, when the grass was wet and the light bright but a little bit foggy.
SO MUCH CAKE. And whipped cream.
To be with almost all of my cousins.
So many children around. They make family meetings so much better.


And then there are the delicious little things I brought back home with me:

The new CUT magazine (knitting season has officially started!)
My favourite candy (I mainly buy it because of the packaging)
Shortbread and Clipper tea my little sister brought me from England.
Appenzeller cheese and Ovomaltine chocolate from my cousin who lives in Switzerland.
Many rolls of film (3 exposed ones are waiting to get developed).


Stupid Ryanair made me pay 35 Euros for 1 kg of overweight thanks to my souvenirs...but I think they are worth it.

I'm happy you liked the old photos from the last post. It was nice to come back and read your comments.

Have a good day everyone.

the 80s

Today I want to show you some more favourite old photos.

We're leaving for Germany today to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday (again) with the whole big family, and I'm really looking forward to see all my cousins, uncles, aunts, and a new baby!!

I have been making sort of a nostalgic sentimental slideshow to show them at the party , that's why I scanned all of these photos. And thanks to my great time management now I have only two hours left to get packed and ready to go.

So I won't tell you much about these photos. I just love them, especially the 80's backgrounds (that Barcelona street in the 3rd photo...).
Perfect little historical documents.

That's my godfather (and me) in the last photo. Isn't he incredibly handsome?

I hope you all have a great weekend.
Mine lasts until Tuesday. So happy about that!

the 70s

I've catched the season's first cold (remember my sneezing the other day?), and autumn hasn't even officially started yet. So today, it's ginger tea, honey and paper tissues.
And looking at some old photos i scanned some days ago at my parents' place.
I wasn't even born when these were taken. That's my mother in all three shots, and my father in the last one. The clothes, the glasses, my mother's (fake) curls? the colours? There are so many details to discover and love about them.
Maybe later I'll show you some more.
