I hope your holidays have been (or are being) great.

I am really tired today, from eating and going to bed late with a full belly three days in a row.

But we had a nice sunny weekend, with bike rides around the deserted town (everybody was at home eating) in the afternoon, golden light and the Pentax around my neck. Pure happiness.

These photos are from our weekend in France a few weeks ago (the last photo is a reminder that I still have to get that poor camera fixed...).

Merry Christmas to you all, and wonderful holidays with plenty of peace and quiet and joy and all kinds of good things.

Finally some new photos on the way, from the only roll shot with my Pentax during the last weeks.
I wanted to share this one immediatly, I really like it. That's how the afternoon light looks like these days. So nice I sometimes forget the snow I use to dream of instead...

Have a sweet start into your weekend!

Right. We're in the middle of December, and my poor little blog looks like he's hibernating. Well he isn't, or at least he shouldn't be. I have been missing you.

So tonight, to break the ice, some random little things:

· I'm not going to write a list for this month, as during November I kind of lost track of the last one. There will be new lists for calmer days.

· I actually had some nice calm days this past week, in the form of a 5-day-weekend spent in France, without internet connection and with so much rain outside you could barely leave the house. It was wonderful, and we brought home a lot of stinky cheese. (The week before, N. had been in Italy to visit family and came back with a suitcase full of food. We really have a lot of cheese in our fridge right now...)

· There are so many great wintery snow photos on flickr right now. I'm jealous...

· Speaking of snow, in the (crappy) photos you can see the first batch of christmas cookies I have baked this year, Zimtsterne. I made a mess in the kitchen, but they are (were) so good.

What's your favourite cookie to bake for christmas???

I hope you have a good Sunday
