Country Living "Seasons At Seven Gates Farm"



I got it! This beautiful book arrived yesterday. 

My blog-friend "A Super Dilettante" mentioned it in his blog "Thoughts From A Life", in an abundant post about Christmas. Thank you! 

When I stay in my secondary home in Bavaria (which seems to turn more and more into a main residence) I can enjoy nature so much more, and  the long walks through fields and woods are calming. 

As in Berlin I am lucky to have a large balcony, this one is "A Room With A View" - meaning I look into a large valley with a little river, the valley bordered by woods on hills. 

And not to forget the ever changing spectacle of the sky! 

So: I am very much nearer to the seasons of the year than in our capital Berlin. 
I will pick a few of the many beautiful ideas from that book to mirror the seasons on the balcony (inside too, but there is not that much room, and I do not want to overload it). 

My balcony in Berlin - when I lived there full-time - was a really beautiful sight. Now it is still beautiful, but then it was ravishing. That is not longer possible, I already feel guilty that my French neighbour Gabriele kindly waters my roses and wine and other plants - so I will not add more whimsical touches. When she is in France I water her plants.
