Wishing you a fabulous New Year’s Eve with plenty of party tulle,  a playground of giggles, enough time to lose track of it and lots of energy to dance, dance, dance!

Music for you, today: You! Me! Dancing! by Los Campesinos!

On Christmas day we decided to take a walk around the Katzensee in Zürich. It was grey and windy but so nice to be out in the fresh air.

I know that this isn’t a cooking blog. But Christmas Eve this year was all about the food so I decided to post about it. We stayed in and feasted with a simple menu.

To start: Blaues Wunder (a blue cheese made near Bern) and walnuts

In between: A salad of arugula, red onions and pine nuts with a balsamic dressing

The main: Salmon en Croute with herbed portobello mushroom and broccoli

To finish (not pictured here): Dark Chocolate Mousse

wishing all of you…

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!

Three windows from around Zürich. I often think about the phrase “a window of time” and wonder what that could possibly be?….

But mostly I adore windows for their reflections.

i’ve been missing something…

boo

Hello there! I’m back. Nearly as soon as I posted the coffee break message, I began missing the blog and missing my camera and missing your comments.

So, I’m back from my break and hoping to be posting regularly.

See you…

There was something about rust-colored things that caught my eye today.

Rust seems to be winter-like in a way. Slow and creaky. That was how the day today went…
