these pictures take me back to january and february, although some were taken later.
but they do have a very wintery feel to them, don't they?

blue and white



oh dear, it's been a long time!

with lots of things to do in our new flat and with spring outside
I have not really had the patience to sit down in front of my computer at night
after I've spent most of my day in front of one already.

last week I finally picked up three rolls of film,
but now it feels strange to show you wintery black and white pictures from february
with all the colors and smells and sounds of spring outside the window.

so I decided to start with a few taken in our new flat:

01, 06 there's a farmers market across the square from our place every saturday, and I insist on buying a bunch of flowers every time we go.

02, 03 while the front of our flat (living and bedroom) face west, the kitchen with wintergarten faces east, and I love how the light comes in in the morning, blue from the west, and bright and yellow from the east. we've had really nice weather here in the last weeks, so there's always almost sun in the morning. our bedroom has a very pretty ceiling.

04, 07 I inherited this rosenthal china from my granddad when he died two years ago, and it's been stored in boxes in my parents' attic ever since. I love having it with me now, and imagine him and my grandmother (who died before I was born) serving tea on it on a sunday afternoon.

05 more market bounty, and another set of tableware from my granddad (I'll have to show you more pictures of it some day, it's my favorite ever and we use it every day).


we're heading to the north of germany on friday to spend easter with my family.
I wish you happy easter and a lovely spring weekend!

my week



good morning!


barbican cafe


hackney city farm


walking home


breakfast


I have also fallen victim to Instagram,
so I have a couple of pictures to show you from my last week
while I'm waiting for my films to be developed.

1 breakfast this morning: rhubarb compote on bircher muesli
2 the new cafe in the barbican in london last weekend
3 happy pigs at hackney city farm, also london
4 johannesstrasse, one of my favorite streets in our neighborhood
5 more breakfast

I'll be back with some "proper" pictures soon.
Spring is really in full swing here, suddenly over the weekend
all the trees turned green, my favorite time of year.
