December nature in bloom

 December weather here in London always a surprises me.

It is mild and the nature is in bloom.

The berries and brances look like Christmas decorations.

Christmas Tree

We can´t have a Christmas tree in our house this year.
So here is my imaginary living room with a lush green Christmas tree.
In real life this is at the Geoffrey Museum.

opening the calendar doors

In the morning my son can´t wait to wake up

 and open the doors of the advent calendar.

Colour me Christmas

A day I have been waiting for, the first of December. 

I can finally start my picture advent calendar. 

 Chapel at the Geoffrey Museum in Hoxton

 is a perfect place to start this 24 day journey.

 This is an exercise in finding

 stillness, beauty and joy.

 I am hopeful in my anticipation.

Olympia park with best of friends

 When we were traveling around the wold, one of my worries was, that my son will not have a best friend. I am happy to say, that he now has good friends. As I listen their conversations, I am transported to a new land of 6 year olds. It is peculiar, what is funny to them and what things they take serious.

rooftops

 This was a test to blog from my phone. I had this photo from the summer. I love views from rooftops. This one is from Helsinki.

finding meaning in design

 Sometimes it is hard to find one´s way, one´s place in London.

Maybe I am getting there.

This was a beautiful day at the Design Museum 

with a good and inspirational friend T.

 I saw a perfect tea heater Miito 

by Nils Chudy and Jasmine Grasse.

 I wanted to read Riposte women´s magazine because of its cover.
