smells like...

lavender!

I made this little sachet for C's mum.


This is the kind of stuff I come up with when I am totally bored and have nothing to do. Fortunately, it seems that Frau S. always has everything I need... and the lavender is from her garden, handpicked that day.

Lake of Constance, Germany

Last weekend we went around the Lake of Constance, by bike. This Lake in the south of Germany is surrounded by three countries: Switzerland, Austria and Germany. We managed to do the biggest lake in 3 days, averaging 50Km per day. It's a really easy ride as it is flat all the way..it was however very hot!!! Here are some of the pictures:



more pictures to follow...soon...xx
