A British expat's take on life in Germany
About a month ago, I received a text message from a friend at about 10.30pm on a Monday evening: “How spontaneous are you?”. My reply was: “Not that spontaneous at 10.30pm on a Monday evening.” Luckily, he wasn’t referring to doing something that late on a school night, but he was referring to a spontaneous… Continue reading Colmar, Strasbourg and the Castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg: A Brief Trip to Alsace, France
Due to being on holiday for the half the month and writing about that holiday in my blog post "Austria, Italy and Switzerland" (and all the blogs linking to that), there aren't a great deal of photos to upload for July. Nevertheless, enjoy the few that I did take!
This year is flying by, and that was no different for October. This month, I seemed to be less into taking photos as usual, meaning there aren't that many photos to show you this month. The definite highlight of the month happened on 31st October, when I became an uncle for the second time! So… Continue reading October 2016 in pictures

I wrote a nice little post about them a few weeks ago which you can read here. But, what happens when… Continue reading A German’s first time in Britain
This month is going to seem more like a big holiday photo collection - Tim and I went to Great Britain (and it was Tim's first time there!). I'll write a more detailed post about the trip, so for now you get an overview through a random selection of photos. The first half of the… Continue reading July 2016 in pictures
I thought it might be nice to do a post about each month, but rather than writing what I've done, show what I've done with pictures. I used to take a photo every day, but towards the end of this month I somehow fell out of the rhythm. So I don't have a photo from… Continue reading January 2015 in pictures
