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. […]

A few weeks ago I cooked for 25 people for a whole weekend. 2 Dinners, 2 Brunches, 2 Desserts, salads, many dips and lots of snacks. Meal Prep, planning, shopping, the works. I am not a cook, far from it. I took one “Foods” class in High School when I was 16. That is the […]
Hello Folks, On a rainy Thursday in May, along with my mother, I travelled by train to Salzburg for the day. The weather said that the rain was supposed to stop in the afternoon, so we decided to travel anyway, even though we would be outside all day, and hoped for the best. We were […]
