Oh 2010, what a year.
Full of emotions, thinking, decisions, farewells and significant changes. Those of you, who follow me on this blog already for a while know that this is the year in which I moved from Hamburg to Sydney ...
I wanted to say thank you for coming by here, for leaving lovely comments or just for saying a little hello....
2011, hopefully you will be a year of exciting, surprising moments, moments in which we feel well and comfortable and also full of love, luck and just what we want from life
Let's have a wonderful new year ....
Maria
I would like to show you a couple of moments of my last 12 months....
In January I said 'Goodbye' to Will, who moved back to Australia after living with me in Hamburg....we had a sad but wonderful time at the Café Johanna on his last day in Hamburg....
After rearranging the apartment I found my new favourite place. I loved to sit there ....
In February, I discovered my mom's old hand-knitted Norwegian jumpers, which kept me warm during the cold Winter
I cooked a little Valentines meal and sent it to the other side of the world.
Had wonderful Sunday afternoon catch ups with my friends....
In March I flew to Autralia to visit Will for three weeks, it changed my life...
not just because I learnt how to paint my own teapot, but
because of a question I got asked and to which I said yes
I was back from my exciting trip in April...back at work and realising step by step about all the things which will be changing in the next couple of months..
I got more and more excited about everything which was about to happen, I also knew that my move to Australia in August means to move out of my beloved apartment....to leave dear friends and family, who mean so much to me
I also gave things some more colour as Spring was a little late that year
In May I visited my great friends Nanna and Maria in Copenhagen.....
and had visitors from Munich and Berlin staying with me in Hamburg.
I also went on many photo excursions with Frau Sieben :) (who will visit me here soon) It was also a month of change as I quit my job...
In June I loved the colours of a fresh Summer snack....
and the signs in my neighbourhood, after having a wonderful evening eating the best pizza with dear friends in Hamburg
In July Will came by to help me move. It was a sad month of farewells and tears in Hamburg...
but also sad back home at my parents place....
On the 1st of August I landed in Sydney. Welcome new life!
I went out for hours to explore the city....
In September there was still much left to discover and orientate....so many new neighbourhoods
I also got myself a second-hand sewing maching which never stood still ever since...
In October I thought many times of my friends back home, of Hamburg, my family...missed so many things..tried to think positive ....felt how it is to be homesick...
discovered the best café in Sydney....(Single Origin in Surry Hills)
and more beautiful things this city has to give....
In November I started my new job....realised that I will miss Autumn this year...enjoyed the beautiful light of a night in Sydney...
In December I went to the wonderful Finders Keepers market....got excited about my first warm Christmas...
and birthday
.... to be continued.....
