Long time has passed ...

I feel deeply at peace.

Months have passed.
There was so much.
Challenges. Old and new people. And a new place.

There have been beautiful weekends, this one included.
People have come to visit me with whom I share a deep bond. I am very grateful that they are a part of my life.

On one of my first weekends here, I got to know the old mine from nearby. It was amazing to walk through these old mine shafts and breathe the gentle wind that is circulating 400 metres or more underground.

I took advantage of the last days of autumn and walked up the hill to the old castle. We enjoyed the view and the last coloured leaves.


On halloween, we cut pumpkins and I arranged them in front of our front door.

Not only I have been visited, I also took the train to see one of my dearest friends.

We walked through the city and talked for hours and hours.

While I'm writing this I'm listening to improvisations by Ólafur Arnalds. I'm just exploring his music.

This weekend has been a blessing.

 

Friday musings

It's Friday. The week slowly comes to its end. There have been lots of events in the last days.

We had this really wonderful (St Martin's) lantern procession on Wednesday evening with its lights and songs and a little walk through the dark.

And my friend celebrated her birthday on the next evening. She offered many kinds of dishes and our group was a multicultural get-together with interesting conversations.

 

I have also fulfilled a wish that I had for a long time: I have bought a small camera. So I went for a walk on Thursday when the sun was shining and the sky was blue and I started to test how my new camera works.

Autumn is beautiful. Don't you think?
