We have a fig tree in our garden, after years of being barren it carried fruit this year and I was able to make some mustard fig.
Memories of a lovely day trip to Val de Travers
November
My daughter and I spent this month traveling to Japan and Australia. It was unusually warm in Tokyo, we missed out on the gorgeous colouring of the leaves but had a wonderful time nonetheless.
Forgotten are the long flights, we have made so many beautiful memories visiting relatives in Cairns, Australia and making a short stop on the way back in Perth.
December
The annual Harley parade in Basel
The cherry tree in the last days of December
I am grateful for all the lovely memories made this year, gratitude to all who have made me laugh this year, thank you for your friendship, I enjoyed my walks in nature that help me to stay grounded, going to the local farmer market and trying out old and new restaurants, regrets I have a few: for not getting everything done on my list, for not posting more regularly but hell, more days are to come!
Very much with Madonna on “f**ck off 2016”,
welcome 2017 with a big leap from Roco!
