        December 2007: Looking back… and ahead! It is freezing cold here in the mountains west of Lyon. The trees and the ground are covered in frost – everything looks like a postcard! We are preparing for Christmas here – and then for a new year. When I was a child, Christmas was definitely […]

        November 2007: Thoughts on colour This is turning out to be a long, cold, grey and rainy autumn here in France. Or is it just because I’m yearning so much for colour that it seems this way? (I must admit, today is sunny and nice, and I’ve even stolen half an hour […]

        May 2007 – Crochet without pain! This has been yet another busy month – I have been crocheting all the time! Only a year ago, this would have been impossible for me. After a few days, my hands, arms, shoulders and neck would have hurt so much I would have had […]

        April 2007 – a not so ordinary month It has been a very strange month here in France – it feels more like June (or some days even August) than April. It’s nice – but rather unsettling. If we have summer in spring, how will summer be? News-wise, it hasn’t been […]
