sunday brunch + goodbye



my two favorite boys


peaches


coffee + juice


look down


plum cake



my little brother M is flying to the States today
to do a phD and start a new life in Seattle with his girlfriend L.
I am very happy for the two of them,
but also a little sad to see him leave.

by coincidence M spent the last two months in Stuttgart,
and it was very nice to have him so close by and to see him so often.
last week on sunday he came round for brunch at our place.

...

thank you so much for all the nice comments on my last post!
I have yet to post a picture of the framed print I promised,
mainly because, well, it's still not framed.
T has been very busy at work (more on that soon) and we've had visitors every other weekend,
so we have not had much time to work on things around the flat.
hopefully soon.

summer has finally arrived here last week,
the city and the office are very quiet and empty because everyone's away.
I'm really enjoying it a lot,
but also looking forward to our trip to Portugal
which is now only two weeks away.

how is your summer so far?

  2. oh wie schön, dass du deinen bruder so nah bei dir hattest bevor er das grosse abenteuer usa in angriff nimmt. das wird bestimmt toll auch wenn das abschiednehmen immer ein wenig wehmütig macht.

    hier blitz und donnert der sommer gerade ganz wunderbar vor sich hin. irgendwie unheimlich und wunderschön zugleich :)

  3. Mmh, das sieht gemütlich und lecker aus!
    Ich finde es immer schön, wenn zwei Menschen gemeinsam etwas neues beginnen, sehr spannend!
