5 °C and out for a walk. Today, the sky is a soft grey. Some trees are holding onto their leaves for as long as they can before winter turns up the volume, and some trees look like stalks of fine thyme after you’ve raked fingers up along the stems to add every single leaf […]
Eastbourne. This isn’t my first visit here but the view through the window this morning was enough inspiration to share some of this place in a post. It’s a seaside town that’s directly east of the highest chalk sea cliff in England, called ‘Beachy Head.” Eastbourne used to be a market town longtime ago and […]
Blessed day, beautiful people. So, I’ve been sharing a lot of recipes and nature adventures here on the blog but I’m almost always also cooking something musical, and it’s time to share some of that fruit more regularly here. Some more highlights are on the way, although being able to do what you love and […]

What started out […]
Today I’m inviting you for a virtual forest visit with pics sharing: all in a forest in east Germany where I’ve been visiting friends for a few weeks. Thousands of years ago, a large portion of what is now this vast forest, was the sea. Even as I walk along grassy tracks that suddenly merge […]
Quality of life. More and more, it seems we’re all being reminded about what that is and how much it matters to each gifted day and our overall journey. In these odd times in this upside-down world, being proactive about our priorities, thought life, health habits, interactions, peace of mind, time, intricacies, stress level and […]
When’s the last time you went on a slow nature walk, where you weren’t pressed to rush back home, meet anyone or do anything else right after? Nature walks can be so therapeutic; nourishing to the soul and our state of mind before during and after. You don’t need to save up to do it, and […]
Here’s Part 2 of the video on my Toronto trip earlier in July. I went for the “Barbados on The Water” Festival for two events as a part of Spice & Co. , and along with the sound checks, meeting and mini rehearsal, made some time to enjoy the sunrise, walk around and explore some serenity […]
