When someone asks me my top moving abroad tips, my answers typically involve schooling, financial packages, and which language you would have to learn (if any). You really should at least attempt to learn the lingo wherever you end up. It’s not just a question of getting by, it’s about quality of life whilst you […]
Pinacoteca Di Brera – Milan
Yeah, thanks Facebook for the reminder that a year ago today we were enjoying Milan (picture me doing a vastly over exaggerated eye roll right here please?)… The beginning of this Easter Holiday is not quite as exciting in the Bavarian Sojourn Household as stage one of the house project is finished up. We had […]
Sunday Photo – Morning Light
Morning light in the most beautiful Hampshire village where the Three Year old goes to Pre School. We were early so I had a “stop the car and jump out and take a photograph” moment, much to the exasperation of my offspring… This particular day happened to be my Grandfather’s Funeral. Thankfully the sun shone […]
Cultured Kids #42
I know the saying goes be careful what you wish for, but I really am more than ready for the Easter Hols to begin this afternoon… Just a break in our usual routine will be nice, and maybe a lie in or two (I can wish!). Now the the initial phase of our house renovations […]
Middle Distance
I don’t think it’s possible to survive long in a country that’s not your own if you don’t have some grit about you. One of the very best things for me about life as an expat was becoming friends with some of the strongest people. Some of them have had to “shape shift” along the […]
Monday Photo – Almost Spring
My typical Sunday photo didn’t happen yesterday, so for the sake of continuance, here’s a Monday Photo instead. With yesterday’s clock change (how lovely on Mother’s Day!!) comes the promise of Spring and Summer, and Mother Nature continues to give plenty of hints about both…
Over Tea
March has been a funny old month so far, full of dust and noise in as far as the building work goes (but the end is in sight and it looks amazing – I can’t wait to show you!), it’s also been full of birthdays – my now 12-year-old (yes, I still need to do […]
Sunday Photo – Friends
Reunited Friends on the most gorgeous Spring Day…
A Munich Meander
Staying up the road in Garmisch had the added advantage that we were able to pop to our old city for a day… Whilst the rest of my gang happily spent the day in their old haunt (actually much changed, much rearranged, slightly smaller?) Deutsches Museum, I was able to have a meander around Munich, […]
Sunday Photo – Another Side of Munich
Apart from all the beautiful olde worlde buildings in Munich, I quite like the urban concrete side of things too…
