Pauline's

Pauline lives in Archway, one of the highest points in London, in a huge victorian house. The entrance is bright and colourful and her room is full of many great little details.

British Spring

Two weeks ago, I had a nice long weekend in London where - despite the stormy weather - spring had already founds its way. So lovely with all the cherry trees and magnolias, and how great to be able to experience spring twice this year.

Even though the trees were blossoming, it was still a proper London weather, cold, humid and of cause rainy, to my luck mostly in the evenings.

It was great to spend some time alone and I did some stuff I hadn't done for years, like going to exhibitions, and the ballet, and just hanging out without having to be anywhere, which was good for a change.

Sunday Walk

Back when Pauline visited, we went for an Sunday walk in a almost desolate Berlin. It was warm but a bit cloudy. I suspect that most people went to the lakes.

A Quilt

A couple a weeks ago soon, Pauline came for a short visit and brought this amazing homemade quilt for Fleur. Such a wonderful and laboursome gift. Now Fleur has a blanket to play on where she will hopefully spend hours of fun in the future.

Maternity Visitors

For the past three months we have had so many visitors at our place. They all wanted to welcome little Fleur into the world. They have come from near and far and the ones that couldn't make it all the way to Berlin have send greetings and good wishes. Fleur has been showered with lots of things like baby clothes, toys and books, and our home has never before been adorned with this many flowers. It is amazing how a little baby can create so much joy just by being present.

Another amazing side effect: some people I lost touch with got back in contact after learning about the news on this blog, so Fleur has also re-connected old friends, which I am very grateful for.

We still expect some people who has not made it here so far. Just this weekend Pauline will come from London to visit, and we can look forward to more visitors over the summer.

Summer Visit

A while agon Pauline came to visit and it was a beautiful, sunny and warm weekend. We had proper time to catch up in the shades and on Sunday we went to the Thai market and had lunch.
