Finally – after 24h flight I’m back Down Under. It took me AGES to get out of the airport as I forgot my Express Pass in Dresden. Anyway – after I finally had my luggage and walked out looking longingly at all those happily reunited couples, guess who was there?! My hubby! He postponed his [...]

morgen geht’s los! 24 Stunden und ich bin wieder zu Hause… Freu mich schon! Unfortunately while I’m on my way from Singapore to Sydney Guy in on his way from Sydney to Singapore… Life is no picnic! I tell you… But at least Teal’c will be waiting at the other end. SIGH

Oh how much I love Goethes poem about the spring… I even know the German version still by heart! Sure something to show off with occasionally… Exactly what is happening at the moment over here – the spring is arriving and the winter is almost gone. Little spring flowers start to grow and [...]

So what else did I do in my winter holiday than spending time with my mom, dad and nieces?! I made new friends and I met old ones… And I had some good food and some strange drinks. I also did one thing I hadn’t done before – I went 7 kilometer downhill on a toboggan. [...]

It was a short stay for Guy in Dresden but I really enjoyed it… Especially showing him the joys of winter.

I can’t really decide which pictures to post as I have soooo many of my South African husband enjoying himself, more or less, in the snow

So – before you all get too bored by my endless snow pictures (I’m still very happy here) I thought I’m going to share a great idea for a Valentines Day present – instead of useless flowers you could by a bunch of browse. Not very flowery?! Well, no it isn’t but it will make [...]

1st day skiing after a 7 years break and I can only say – god damn I’m fucking good!!!!! I really didn’t expect it and if it would have been for me I would have let the guy in the ski store adjust my ski to medium level experience/skills. Only my dad insisted that that [...]

Ahhhhh – here are my first pictures from the real snow! AWESOME!!! There is almost nothing more beautiful than the Alps covered in powder… It has been a very long time since I was lucky enough to see such winter beauty. At the moment you can ski all the way down right to [...]

Today I managed to find most of my skiing gear and tomorrow we are off to Austria! I really can’t wait to hit the slopes for the first time in 7 or so years. My nieces are already excited as well and after we managed to sort our who is going to sit where in [...]
