This time last week....

The perfect martini, before and after at Hausbar Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin.

The girl with her dog


Ever since I was a little girl, I've visited this grave. I'm not sure if it's folklore, but the story is that one day Cornelia was walking her dog in the mountains and her dog slid down a ravine. She tried to save him and she slid as well, and they both died. 

I think I'll stop by Cornelia always, and maybe one day I'll leave a note to let her family know that Cornelia is sometimes in my thoughts too.

Window Boxes

This beautiful show of geraniums is even more work than you think. Every year Frau Niedersayer takes clippings of her favourites just at the end of summer. She nurtures them through Autumn and in Winter takes them inside away from the snow. In Spring she puts new soil in the planter boxes and starts all over again. She's already got next years going - I'm not one to give a lady's age away, but this is not bad going for someone in their eighties!
