Season Mix

There are the first signs of Spring here and there in Sydney.

This year has been a little weird for me when it comes to seasons. We had this long and cold Winter in Hamburg and in March I flew to Australia into Summer to come back to a warmer Spring in Germany again. And had a few hot Summer weeks before my move to Sydney where Winter welcomed me. This means I will skip Autumn this year which is a season I always loved because of the wonderful change of the nature, its golden days, its wonderful fruits....

I walked down to a little Bay here yesterday to sit in the late afternoon sun and knit on a scarf it seems I am knitting on since 100 years. I realized that when I finish it, it will probably 30° here.

Wish you a great Wednesday....

#10 Blood orange

#11 shiny leaves

How was your weekend?

walks

I feel the need to walk walk walk...

To go out and explore, to take new ways or just enter little paths which look inviting...To get lost and find ways which seem familiar again...Here are a few shots from my last days...

#1 me

#2-8 walking

#9 We buy our bread from the wonderful bakery Sonoma which also has a few nice cafés here. I will take a picture of the amazing cinnamon pastry they make. It was gone too fast ... so next time : )

#10 It was raining all day on Tuesday and I was baking chocolate-apricot-cookies

I look forward to tomorrow when the Young Blood Design Market is taking place here for the weekend...

and guess what...I am ready to leave the house now for a long walk again...

Have a wonderful day

Another day, another walk

A few images from my four hours walk to and through the Botanic Gardens yesterday. I really enjoyed walking in there..and it seems surreal to me when at some point I suddenly saw the Opera House in front of me....It still has this postcard - image to me if you know what I mean...

There is lots to explore here...I wander around and look and see and enjoy...

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. They really mean a lot ... and it is great to get to know a few of you who I haven't 'met' before : )

I wish you a wonderful weekend

#5 A heart in the window

#8 a pool, which seemed so pretty to me and calm

#9 blurry opera house

#10 green in the gardens

#11 the flying foxes the biggest bats hanging in the trees of the Botanic Gardens. Will says they look like huge bats wearing leather jackets : )

#12 so colourful

#13 I think the people here see that I am from Europe just how I enter the street. Most of the times I look into the wrong direction

#14 The leaf was lying on the street in front of our apartment. I think it looks like a mouth

100 and the first days

I just realized that my first post from Sydney is also my 100st post here on Schorlemädchen.

What a coincidence that with moving to Sydney and starting something totally new I also have a little anniversary to celebrate :)

When I started this little space last year in October I did not really know what exactly to write or to show and thought I just see how it goes....

And now it is so much fun to have this space to share images and bits of what I am doing or thinking or to go through the archive and seeing how seasons come and go...but also to read your wonderful comments and get inspirations of people who also share pictures, ideas ...or wonderful words

Of course I am sometimes wondering who might be all these people who stop by here.

So, if you want to say a little hi...I would be happy to read who you are and how you stumbled via this blog ... but just if you want to... : )

Here are also a few images of my first days in Sydney while walking through our neighbourhood, trying to get a bit of orientation on Sunday, and Surry Hills today. I stopped by the the pop-up-store of the Third Drawer Down and fall in love with this icelandic wool-blanket, oh my isn't it beautiful...

I am enjoying the blue sky I see right now when I look outside the window and hope Mr. Jetlag says goodbye very soon....

I hope you are well
