Halleluja it is strawberry time again, which is the beginning of “jam-time” and summer Sunday afternoon routine. I guess it has something to do with my upbringing: my grand ma as well as my mother were crazy about making “Marmalade”. No matter how busy I am: I never buy jam in a super market and…

Sunday Afternoon/ Lichtenberg / I like my Hood
And again we in Berlin are lucky with the weather. Unlike in other German cities we do have nice weather. After spending time on the balcony reading the news, day dreaming and drinking coffee I decided to take my bike, enjoy the weather and cycle around a bit. Actually I should be working on an…
Schlachtensee the Rowboat the Lake and Us …. / Berlin has beautiful lakes
And on Sunday, she said, we will go to Schlachtensee. Which by the way is her most favorite lake. The weather was picture book like and it took us not long to get there – almost to easy if I may say so. And so we went with 2 bottles of water, 3 towels and…
Confusion (mis) Perception Clarification / I like the “Game” & Hermes
“Yes, I can see you like Asian things”. – selfconfident: “It’s like what you have in your hair!” I guess he meant my barrett. “Well actually it’s French.” I took the hairslide off (hi hi i have long hair..), showed it to him and continued: ” Don’t you think Hermes makes beautiful products?” He replied:”…

Size matters / Amazing Discovery / Collegiata S. Giovanni Battista
I decided to walk around and explore the neighbourhood a bit. The weather was beautiful and so was the church. I seriously had no idea what to expect when I entered……. Hear say: In the year 1234 the first parts were built! Latest studies declare that the build started 1333 (gravestone news!). Originally the church…
Let’s go Italy / Europe is great
My friends invited me to spend the weekend with them in lovely Italy. They bought a 14th century house in a 14th century village. Almost needless to say that needed to be explored, visited and embraced.The beauty of Europe is to get to most places without big hazzle and in a timely manner to be…
” I am joining a Cooking class.” ” Nice, what are you cooking?” “Salad!” ??
“Join us for another Cookhouse at Cecconi´s, this time focussing on perfect spring salads. Space is limited, so sign up quickly.” Ok, sounds good and why not? My friends laughed at me: who actually needs a cooking class for salads? Well it got even better: we a group of 4 didn’t need to do anything….
Gallery Weekend / 29.04 – 01.05 / ” I Amsterdam You Berlin”
They say do as the Romans do. And because I haven’t been a Roman since I moved to Berlin which is over 4 years now ?!! I decided to change that. This year is the year. We joined a private tour in an old church. It was nice and a great soft-start into what awaits…
