Last rays of Summer

This photo was taken a few months back when you could realize that Autumn was about to start and Summer had a few days left.
In two weeks will go on a big trip with Matilda and visit her grandparents and lots of dear friends in Australia. Five weeks - we can't wait.

Cafe Johanna

On a beautiful sunny Autumn day in October I went with Matilda to the city to meet a friend for lunch. After we had left I thought we could also walk by Cafe Johanna on our way home for a quick stopover. As I had Matilda in the sling it took a lot longer than it would have with the pram and so we arrived a little late and the cafe was not as busy as it is usually during lunch hours and it was just perfect for Matilda and I to sit down and have a coffee [just me] and just be in that wonderful place.

Sundays

There are not many sleep ins and afternoons lying on the couch reading since little Matilda joined us, instead we try to go for lots of walks and be outside on the weekends. We chat and walk and try to get her to sleep and if we are lucky she is asleep when we pass the nice cafe in our neighbourhood, so we can actually sit down and really enjoy the coffee & a piece of cake. It is the small things these days ...

Bregenzerwald

On our way back from Italy to Germany we stopped for one night in Austria and stayed at this wonderful Hotel called Gasthof Krone within the Bregenzer Wald  area. It is so beautiful there and we wish we would have had a few more days there to explore and really would like to go back. The architecture in this area was so inspiring - a mix of very classic Austrian houses mixed with very modern elements.

At the boarder to Switzerland

These photos are still from our trip in Italy this Summer. It feels like it takes me forever to post all the photos [sorry].
During our week at Lake Como we also had a few days which weren't that sunny, so on the one rainy day we drove up to the Italian/Swiss boarder to get to a little place which was recommended to us by our landlords. It was such a small village with maybe only six houses and a Osteria at which we had a fantastic lunch.


I am still so much in thoughts after the terrible events in Paris last Friday. I am speechless, sad, angry...& also not sure what to think...
