Hello dear readers, This morning a fog descended over the island where I live and it is so beautiful! A bit like a “snow” that calms the nature around you and the mood. A must need a week before Christmas that is for sure ! And although I still have a bit of a to-do […]
These first few months of Autumn have felt so orange to me. And I’m not just talking about Taylor’s « The Life of a Showgirl » ( My fav song is Eldest Daughter ) But also because I got out my about warm wooly cognac sweater, it’s the coziest. I have also been eating many smooth squash […]
So, it was recently Mothers Day Sunday ( in many countries ) and I thought it as good a day as any to write all down all these things in my head. ( Oh you young moms know what I’m talking about ) All the things that collect and coil and circle there way around. […]
“ Dear old sun,How you holding up?Through the winter cold?Up there all alone ? February’s been hard on the heart,But we’re near the end,And it’s almost March.Though the sky’s been grey,And in our way, I still see your light. Well, you melt the snow,And you grow the roses.And you dry the tears,And you freckle noses. […]
Dear Readers. Its official. After 13 years of living in Munich, Germany. Life is taking me ( and my little family) onto other adventures. 10 days ago I took a French TGV train toward Paris, and then on toward the West coast where I will permanently live with my partner and baby ( on an […]
For the longest time I thought that September was my favourite month. And I am not sure I have been totally converted, but man has this June has swayed my opinion by so much more than I could have ever thought. Even though it has been hot! Too hot actually ( yes, global warming is […]
This September was a very special one for me. I again took a long train ride from Southern Germany to the Atlantic Coast in Western France. Where, on the island of Île de Ré, cooked, taught and lead a week long Yoga and Photography Retreat, Getaway to the Sea. This year I had the pleasure […]
June 8th was World Ocean Day. Yes, there is almost a “Day” for everything these days, but this one is a very important to one. Muhammad Ali said ” Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams – they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do – they all contain truths. “ […]
Dear Readers, This morning I finally got around to editing the 200+ photos I wanted to share with you all from my time in French Brittany, in the Finistère region. Specifically the area of Cape Sizun, from last September/October. This was my second time visiting this area, and even though I only spent one week […]
Dear Friends, Family and fellow Readers … Now that the weather is cold, and the last week before Christmas busy and stressful, here is a little something to keep you going. A tiny getaway full of sun, the sea, beautiful landscapes, and great people. I apologize in advance for my image post hiatus. The last […]
I know it is April, and Spring is here in full swing, yet here I am posting images of snow all the same. I love Spring, but I might just love snow more. I can never really make up my mind which season is my favourite, I guess that means I need all 4 in […]
So……. French Brittany/La Bretagne, is a province in North Western France. It is a place with so much history. A place nestled between France and Britain. It is recognised by the Celtic League as one of the 6 Celtic Nations, holding a distinct cultural identity. With a spoken and written language completely different to that […]
Last week I packed my things, joined 9 good friends, and drove the 600 something kilometers to the small village of Le Tour, in the Chamonix Valley, in the French Alps. It was my 3rd time visiting this magical place, each time with new people, challenges and experiences. This time I learned a bit more […]
Hello All, Have you ever been to a place and felt completely comfortable and at home? Well that is how I feel when I travel to the small village of Le Tour. A small place just north of the popular, beautiful city of Chamonix. I had the privilege of staying there for a week with […]
Dear Friends I have heard so much about the “Chateau de Villé” for years now from my boyfriends family and have always wanted to visit. Such historic castles scatter the French countryside, some of them almost standing still in time, from when the soldiers abandoned them after WWII. I was so lucky to be able […]
I had the great pleasure to spend Christmas this year in Chamant, France with my boyfriend and his family. This is a small town just Northeast of Paris in the Picardie region. One week after I had my appendix removed ( yes that was an extra gift this Christmas ) we packed the car and […]
