In Berlin part 2

It feels already so far away that little holiday of ours.
It was such a nice break. Berlin is so much slower and more laid-back than London.
Berlin is a great space for Inspiration and having lived there for many years it was fun to come and visit like a tourist.
Back to London it's typical madness caught us and we are somehow just running around.
The Visa Application is almost done and the excitement about the big move grows.

In Berlin Part 1

It was so very good to visit my wonderful friends in Berlin and great for David to meet all of them.
And so much has happened and changed since I moved away.
There is a brand new little baby boy "Friedrich" and loads of new cafes and shops.
My friends home made dinners though are still as good as always.
I really miss the the amazing Mauerpark flea market on Sundays.
In the cold weather it was impossible to walk long distances.
Every few meters we stopped for another coffee, tea, hot chocolate or mulled wine.
And we spent a lot of the time in all the outstanding little Cafes & Restaurants like Chi Sing, Wohnzimmer Bar, Cafe Sloerm....
Berlin is such a great place and next time I have to show David around in Summer.
In London right now it feels strongly like Spring is on it's way.

A Freezing Holiday and language lessons

We are back to London!
Our little holiday to northern Germany was freezing cold but very very nice.
It has been constantly below -10 degrees and I am ready for Spring now.
One week at my Mum's house in the country side, just loads of delicious food and fun times.
It was so good to seeing everyone.
They had a little surprise for us as well, as they have just started an English course, they were so much better in understanding and talking to Dave this time. So cute!
Dave decided to learn German as well, which is great.
I do believe German is not an easy language to learn and I wonder when he will find the time,
at least he has me as a native speaker at home ; )
What about you guys: Are you speaking different languages?
Do you have any recommendations for methods, books/cd's etc.?

I will catch up and tell you about our Berlin trip soon.

Off to Germany + Family time in the cold

Today we are off to northern Germany to visit the family for a week and then for a long weekend to Berlin to visit friends. The temperatures just dropped drastically:
Winter is now really here and my hands and feet constantly cold an numb.
I am still looking forward to this trip. We will be back with photos soon.
Have a great time everyone.

Happy Birthday Brunch to me!

It was my birthday this week.
Happy 28 years old. I am so excited about this year.
We went for delicious dinner at Yum Yum and David got me a beautiful Journal to write down all my thoughts and ideas, dreams and goals.
On Saturday I invited with all our friends at The Happy Kitchen and we had amazing pancake brunch and good coffee.
Thanks to everyone who joined, for all the nice birthday wishes and all the beautiful gifts.
It was an amazing day.

P.S: Thanks to the girls at The Happy Kitchen for my birthday muffin and the good service.
