I was going to write a blog post about ten days ago but was tired and put it off till the following day. Then, as often happens, a series of mishaps and a bout of busy days cropped up leaving me with no time to even think of writing. I have barely been on social… Continue reading March is out, April is in

Back in May The Bavarian’s family held a family reunion in central Germany. We were to stay at Quinkenhof, a farm in the middle of nowhere. Normally one to love farm holidays, this time I was a bit apprehensive. I hadn’t booked it myself, some distant relation had.

But when I find something I like, I do tend to fall for it big time. Enter Styling the Seasons, a monthly linky… Continue reading Styling The Seasons April 2016
A friend called in for coffee the other day. Her little daugher was with her. As we sat and chatted at the kitchen table, I noticed the little girl looking around the kitchen as if she had never seen it before. As a joke, I said to the little one “Strange, isn’t it?
