Berlin, Ich Liebe Dich (1)

German favourites; gingerbread hearts and warm gluhwein in the Tiergarten

Polapremium Berlin

A visit to the Polapremium shop in Berlin - like travelling to Polaroid Mecca. Nice to visit a dedicated space in real life after only sharing instant film discussion in online Polaroid communities.

The last weekend of the summer

Cat amongst my thyme

Polaroids from the last sunny Saturday of the year, in our London back garden.The cat belongs to one of our neighbours I suspect but she loves calling in for a cuddle. She licks everything in sight so we've named her 'lolly.'

Olympos, Turkey

Relaxing under the orange tress in Olympos, Turkey.

Greek treats

Pear Tree

I discovered that the 25 foot high tree at the back of our garden is a pear tree. Unfortunately the pears are up too high to pick any, so they drop to the ground and spoil. The foxes chase them around the garden as if they were tennis balls.

Garden party

Luscious handmade marshmallows from Fortnum & Mason and exquisite macaroons from Laduree.

Frederich, our occasional houseguest

Frederich is our occasional houseguest. He shows up at all hours expecting cuddles, treats and a warm place to nap. We cave in because we're suckers, and we can't resist his drooling on us while he gets pats.

Paris... magical Paris

Parisian favourites...

Herbs and coffee in Montmarte, Paris. Coffee was delivered to our table at 'Les Deux Windmills,' the cafe where Amelie was filmed.

Easter Egg hunt

The hunt for eggs at a friends Easter picnic, in London. The BBQ was laughable by Australian standards but we made sangria from scratch, enjoyed home baked hot cross buns (pictured below) and pretended the mild 12 degree weather was actually sunny mid 20's. I won a fluffy stuffed bunny rabbit for my efforts.
