Christmas Shoot for Dani’s Shop

Today we were shooting the invitation cards for my friend Dani´s Christmas event at her store. I really prayed to the weather-god, that it will not going to rain. I checked the weather forecast every hour yesterday. At the end, everything turned out fine, but in the morning it didn't look too good for us.

Pumpkin Carving

Normally I am really not into traditions, but every year when it comes to autumn season, and I see all the pumkins on the fields, I need to do three things: The pumpkin pie, of course! it is already eaten, slurp! The pumpkin soup, I like it with some cranberries on the side, yummy! and: carving the pumpkin! This year's idea was to create a scenery in the woods with some squirrels and a bambi.

This Week’s Animal Report

You must know, we love cats! But: we don't have our own. We say, they have to choose you. But it is allowed to 'help along' a little so we try to attract the neighbourhood cats with some goodies. This does work with the one we call the "Red Cat", but only up to a certain point. We are not allowed to pet her and she never comes into our home to sit down. This week we had a striking…

Jersey Soft Ice Cream Van

Just one hour flight time from Duesseldorf on the beautiful island of Jersey, I bumped into an original vintage Jersey icecream van. I think it's a perfect start for a vacation. However, the friendly icecream man was just closing and on his way home, so I did not get my Jersey Soft, but he promised to be back tomorrow.
