botanical gardens I 














the past two weeks were full of rain and melancholic thoughts. the world was grey, the sky packed with heavy clouds that kept the sun from showing her face to the earth.

but this weekend spring came back and me and my family decided to drive to bayreuth in order to visit their vast and impressive botanical gardens.

i was so glad to walk in the sunshine and to see so many pretty colourful flowers after being forced to stay inside for such a long time.

have a nice week!

i have been listening a lot to iron & wine lately. enjoy!

 rhubarb










today i had the most wonderful rhubarb tart for lunch. it was so easy to make and tasted just delicious. you can find the recipe in the second cookbook by 'leon - naturally fast food'.

as long as i can get fresh rhubarb at the market i have to try out a few more recipes. next weekend i'm going to make my own 'rhubarb schorle', which i love to drink during spring and summertime...

my work in munich ended in april and until i'll find something new i'm staying at the countryside again. besides finding a new job i've got plenty of time to observe how rapidly the face of nature changes during springtime.

spots i visited just days ago look totally different to me when i pass by the next time. everytime i see new colours and notice new changes and am fascinated by the power of life.

can't believe it's may already...

wishing you a nice and warm weekend!

spring is here and the world has its colours back! 

currently it's quite hard for me to stay inside. as soon as i see a little bit of blue sky i just have to leave the house...

 müllersches volksbad










this is where i went nearly every weekend during the months of january till march. i packed my bags, left the house very early in the morning and started the day by going for a swim in this beautiful jugendstil swimming pool not far from where i lived.

can't wait for the outdoor pool season to begin!
