That's right! There's a Sock Monkey loose in NYC and he seems to be making himself quite at home here already! Clive blends in perfectly to this eclectic, colourful, unique landscape, that's like no where else in the world! And it's hot!

Mini Break : Cricket on Helgoland
Without wanting to sound complacent, when you live in Europe you get a little spoilt for choice, when thinking about a weekend away. Living up here in the north of Germany means London, Paris, Copenhagen, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Stockholm are little more than an hour away. Extend that to 2.5 hours and we… Continue reading Mini Break : Cricket on Helgoland
Look Back : April 2015
Having turned over the calendar yesterday, I realised another month has gone. Another month closer to those long, long Summer days, when the sun rises around 5am and doesn't set before 11pm. Pretty crazy how the days turn into weeks and then with a snap of your fingers, another month has passed, isn't it? April saw… Continue reading Look Back : April 2015
Mini break : Oxford

Hamburgers ( mostly Germans in general) dream about going to Australia -… Continue reading Travel : Happy New Year

Mini Break : Amsterdam
Art is everywhere. One of my favourite cities in the world - Amsterdam has it all. Friendly people. Bikes! Bikes! Bikes! Funky cafes. Stunning canals. Photo opportunities around every corner. Handmade and locally designed treasures. Amazing food & coffee. Art, street art, installation art, galleries & exhibitions. History & a glimpse at the future. The… Continue reading Mini Break : Amsterdam
Mini Break : Copenhagen
What a city! Located just a hop, skip and a jump for us from Hamburg, Copenhagen is one of the most beautiful cities I've seen! Even though it's cold, cold April, the sunshine on our backs and faces has helped not only to keep us a little warmer, but to see this beautiful city in… Continue reading Mini Break : Copenhagen

There are so many blogs (and bloggers) I admire and regularly tune into, so I hope Gus and… Continue reading Welcome!
