Day 23 | Advent Calendar

A Magic Place

Last night, I was woken by the whispering sound of various voices. Curiosity paired with the need to go to the bathroom pushed me out of bed.

As I tiptoed into the living room I could not trust my eyes and definitely not my ears. What I saw and heard was just magic. Continue reading “A Magic Place | Day 23 | Advent Calendar 2016” →

It is dark and very cold,

I snuggle deep into my blanket fold.

There is no noise, nor light to see

My beloved teddy next to me. Continue reading “Christmas Dreams by Willow Willers | Day 22 | Advent Calendar 2016” →

Hello there!

Welcome to my blog. This place on the internet has been around for a few years now. For a while I almost called it home. Now, I have been on quite a few breaks, but don’t let that keep you from enjoying my content.

M - Croco Rose by Marigance Swipe for different light effects This is my second bag by Marigance (if you scroll back you can see my other bag), this one is from the new collection and a very limited edition, as the outside leather are left over pieces from major fashion houses that have been up-cycled in this beauty. I am far from someone who loves shopping, but when I really like a fashion item, be it clothing, shoes or a bag like this one (especially when they come from small independent and sustainable labels) I don’t think much about it, given that it is in the realms of my budget. @marigance

Spotted this a few weeks ago. Hanging on the outside wall of a church, I am not sure that it sure that it was a message by the church, but anyways it is a lovely message. #allyouneedislove #loveisall #lgbt #equalrights #family #whatisfamily #streetart #parisstreetart #zettel #artistunknown #parisienne #parismaville

Quand j’ai vu ceci j’ai pensé « chou-fleur multi-couleur » When I saw this, I had to think “multi-coloured” cauliflower. Musste hier an „bunten Blumenkohl“ denken. Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

Tonight, if things go as planned (they didn’t earlier this year) I will finally spend an evening with CAKE. Ok, it won’t be like in the old days where I actually spend the evening with the band, interviewing, hanging out backstage, having dinner together. But then I always had a good excuse, doing an interview for Newcastle Student Radio, writing a review, being a student but a huge fan etc. “How do you afford your rock n roll lifestyle” No, ten years later, I will just listen to the music like a normal person would do. Rest assured I am still not a normal person. This picture was in my photo treasure box. Taken by my friend Kate from the hills of Gateshead in front of the beautiful Newcastle backdrop. In my memory this was taken in the spring of 2009, but the trees let me wonder if it wasn’t autumn 2008 instead. I was as so often wearing my @thebandcake T-shirt (no idea if I still have it). At the time I was an undergrad student @newcastleuni in my second year of studying Politics and I invested a lot of time in my role of Head of Music @thisisnsr it was an amazing experience that never saw me at a #CAKEmusic concert. A band that I had discovered while listening to what is now @ynotradio (sorry for messing up the match madness by telling the CAKE forum, erm yeah I spend some time there too 🙄, about it in 2007) with my parents in 2000, I liked the music straight away. The powerful girl of “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” was such an icon. When we then left the States 🇺🇸 in 2003 I really got into CAKE, my connection to the 3 years outside of Europe. I started going to gigs in 2006, my mom let me do so on school nights. But never ever there were CAKE... So now 19 years after discovering the band, and 16 after starting to be a fan. The day is finally here. Ok, so I thought in February too when an evening with CAKE became and evening without CAKE. I would of course love to interview you guys just like I would have when my radio show was called “Sheep Go to Heaven” (I only played that song during my very last show, but there were always CAKE songs there), but I am not sure you will stumble upon my memory-packed post.
