We went to Berlin, for the fifth time, it’s our favorite city (much better than Amsterdam). This is our favorite place to have breakfast, the Wronski. Like always, the weather was great. It was like summer. And life there seems so laid back, because there is so much space,and enough trees so it doesn’t feel [...]

Since I left art school I’ve been drawing less and less. Somehow all the fun was out of it. Drawing used to be my favorite hobby, but it felt like work now. And somehow everything I made didn’t seem good enough. I started avoiding it. Because the need to create beautiful things was still there, [...]

We visited friends who emigrated to Norway. They live in a very old wooden house with a grass roof. It has an iron wood heater and also an iron stove, although the last one is not really in use anymore. It was all very 19th century. We had our own bedroom in the former grain [...]

I made my first jam today of wild berries: sloes, hawthorn berries, and rose hips. We harvested them two days ago and I kept them in the freezer for two nights. I was really curious if it would work out, I’ve never made jam before. But it tastes really good. It is fun to do, [...]

We went to Sweden this year to go camping. For the first time with our own car, it was really fun. Last year in Australia we found out that we love driving. Sweden looks really fresh in summer, almost like spring. The first two days there was a lot of rain, so we thought, oh [...]

Two sunny days in February, what a gift! Yesterday I went for a walk because the sun was shining and I am so glad I did because it was almost springlike. I walked more than two hours and took hundred photographs. There was such a nice contrast between the sunlight and the brown, dark trees and [...]

I’ve finally accepted the fact that it’s winter and am even starting to enjoy it. Last Saturday friends of ours persuaded us to make an evening walk in the Millingerwaard in the snow, by moonlight. I didn’t want to at first, because I hate the cold. But it was super. I didn’t know you could [...]
