The Seed We Did Not Sow

The Seed We Did Not Sow When we came back from our one week holiday in the South of France we were greeted by a surprise. Between our mint plants (we have tons of those don't ask me why) there was a plant that we did not plant nor did we sow the seeds. A … Continue reading The Seed We Did Not Sow →

Chalk Lines

Last week, on the lookout for positive images from Paris, I came across something that was both beautiful and sad. Maybe sad is not the right term, maybe melancholic. I don't stare at the ground, but keeping a vigilant eye is important as there can be some minor accidents regarding shoes, it has gotten a … Continue reading Chalk Lines →

A Beautiful Sunday

Today was an amazing beautiful day, the sky was clear and blue, the sun was shining. I could hear birds singing. For a November day it was surprisingly warm. In the mist of recent events I have shied away from looking at the news, my heart is still heavy, but I try to see the … Continue reading A Beautiful Sunday →

Homegrown chilli peppers

These peppers were meant to be small. This is the 3rd year that we have grown our own peppers. Christmas 2012 we got some tiny peppers, but quite hot peppers in Germany and baptised them Piments de Iena as we did not know their name. We planted some seeds and were rewarded with many small peppers … Continue reading Homegrown chilli peppers →

Sous la pluie | Im Regen | In the Rain

Sous la pluie du printemps, je me promène avec ma fille. D'habitude je n'aime pas trop la pluie, mais cette fois-ci c'est different. Car il s'agit d'une pluie légère de printemps et pas d'une pluie froide. Mes lunettes se couvrent de gouttes, donc forcement de temps en temps je ne vois plus rien. Mais je fais attention, parce … Continue reading Sous la pluie | Im Regen | In the Rain →

A is for my Autobiography – A to Z Challenge April 2015 | Meine Autobiographie | Mon Autobiographie

Autobiographies tend to start in the beginning of the person's life. I am German, and was born to German parents in Germany. I spend the first 12 years of my life there. From then on things get a bit "complicated", four days before my 12th birthday we (my parents and my younger sister) moved to … Continue reading A is for my Autobiography – A to Z Challenge April 2015 | Meine Autobiographie | Mon Autobiographie →
