Mountain Walk

There are only a few things as relaxing as going for a walk, especially when surrounded by beautiful french mountains and village charm.

Every morning Martin and I took a walk through the winding roads leading to Vence, always taking new roads, spotting nice details and sweating in the sun from climbing the steep hills. 

A House in South Of France

While I was in the south of France, I stayed with Martin and Max at this great house in the mountains around Vence. 

Such a lovely place to relax. How can you not with such a lovely view? When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I did was look out the window to take in the landscape, it is really something special compared to the normal view I have looking into the neighbor apartments.

The first day was super warm and I sat for a long time in the sun on the balcony solving cross-word puzzles. Quite the summer feeling in the end of October. 

Cote d'azur

In the end of October I went to France with Max and Martin for some days, taking some time to relax and enjoy the blue sea and sky of the Cote d'azur.

It was a very special feeling driving next to the sea and I realized that this is the first time this year that I have actually been to the beach and put my feet in seawater. Such a lovely feeling.

Teddy

Back in July, my friend Tina had a little boy. So I recently went to see him for the first time and for the occasion I spend some time on a little teddy for him, in bright colors and with moveable limbs.

I have been told that he is a hit.

I found the inspiration for him here. There should be a PDF pattern if you feel up to the task.

Florence Station

It was great to arrive and depart from Florence from its amazing and beautiful station building. It must be the most impressive station I have ever visited. It had so much of the same grandeur as the Tempelhof airport building and is from around the same period. I instantly wanted to pull the camera out from my bag and start taking pictures.

Florence Colors

Some more pictures from charming Florence.

Going through the pictures I notices that there are many yellow houses and such a great light. The city was a bit overcrowded, so it was great that we also got to experience a bank holiday, as it left the streets a bit more empty than the other days in Italy.
