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Perfect little historical documents.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!

Here's some of that beautiful evening light.
Looking up on my way home yesterday; not the greatest shots as they were taken out of a driving car.
But the light was magic.

PS: Their new album is amazing.

october!

Already?!

Time flies. Here are some things I don't want to miss this month:

enjoy the last figs (making jam today). they are so incredible this year. i might love them even more than cherries.
eat millions of pears.
bake more (from this beautiful new book).
eat more chocolate.
wear woolen socks (at least at home. it's still quite warm here).
capture the evening light.
stew apples and put cinnamon on them.
start to knit something (I absolutely love this).
buy some new shoes (these ones maybe?!).
finish the 3 started rolls of film in my cameras.

What are you up to?
Happy Saturday!
