Like woah, we’re on the move….

Posted in Life

Yep, not only are we going to move house, this lil’ blog is moving too. I have a big old bunch of frustrations with this provider and so am going to switch to one of the big ones. It is a bit of a shame as I like a little guy but the shame is totally outweighed by the huge feeling of relief I will get any second soon……

Plus, am hoping that the remnants of my lazy arse blogging will be cleared up. Because a couple of those bits and bobs aren’t my fault at all. (Yep, bad workman blaming my tools….).

Am hoping this will be done in the next day, but will announce it loud and clear asap.

In the meantime, to pretty this post up, here are some more shots from Berlin…

The brilliant view from our 35th floor hotel room:

Kind of like the Three Musketeers, but you know, without horses or knight stuff. Just three really. But a good three.

Being a bridesmaid means fancy shoes. (And some supporting of the bride I guess..).

I am going to be a bridesmaid in July and am SUPER excited about it. We have cute dresses to wear, no hideosities for us. But the best bit of all is that I better have some fancy shoes to wear. You know, I don’t want to spoil the big day for the happy couple or anything…

Its a knee length champagne dress with a tight bodice and puffy tutu skirt – this is screaming BIG FANCY SHOE to me.

Clearly these are far too high for me to wear all day, but let’s ignore that for now.

And let’s ignore the ‘don’t-overshadow-the-bride-with-your-gaudy-shoes’ bit too.

Nice idea all of them, but quite possibly a little Kardashian.

< All of these lovely shoes are from the Kurt Geiger website >

My heart belongs to: Barcomi’s in Berlin.

Oh my, I loved this place. I don’t know if it was because the sun was shining, or I was super hungry and they fed me or that we found our way in through what was essentially a secret door (totally covered in a huge big curtain) or if it was the lovely people I was with. Quite probably all of the above.

Plus, this is where my husband found all the cool camera functions.

It is in one of Berlin’s super cute courtyards.

Good coffee.

Fresh mint tea.

All in all a lovely place.

(Although in this shot we look a little wan.. darn retro setting).

Oh me, oh my… one month and counting.

Posted in New house things

We are moving house in one month. More strictly speaking, we will be getting the keys for our new house in one month. So begins the renovating and decorating of both the house we will move in to AND the one we will be leaving. Brilliant.

But one month. That isn’t so very many days.

(Is it just me, or is this sign a little Addams Family?)


I might not put up oodles of before and after pictures, you know, because it can get a bit old fast. But you can expect paint talk.

(Lovely Jotun paint)

I have already spent far too long obsessing over which shade of white is just right. So now I can start obsessing about the right shade of beige (or taupe or  mink or caramel, you know, take your pick…).

(These are from here)

Of course, we could just get a LOT of wine and paint the whole place magnolia.
