Whilst in one sense it seems like mere days ago since we bade snowy Munich a fond farewell after seven years away, landing back with a bump on a dark damp English Winter’s night, this past six months has also seemed like the longest chunk of time I have yet to experience on good old […]

An Ex Insider’s Guide to Munich (and surrounds) with Kids
I get a lot of emails asking for advice on what to see in Munich, so I thought it might be useful to keep an expanding list here, in the hope that it helps others plan their trips (I made it a “what to do and see in Munich with Kids” type post, as […]
Sunday Photo – Englischer Gartens
A Summer’s day in Munich’s Englischer Gartens. We popped back last week for a flying visit. It was so lovely to sit and appreciate the cool shade underneath the canopy of chestnut trees…

If you stood close to a tree covered in it you could hear it falling off… #bavaria #hoarfrost #naturephotography A photo posted by Emma (@bavariansojourn) on Dec 8, 2016 […]
