I'm back

Hey lovelies,

I'm so sorry for being too lazy and chaotic to write any new blog entry. The last one was exactly one month ago so that I feel quite ashamed :(. I really try to change that for the future!

I was at home in Germany for 3 weeks and all startet with a big surprise for my parents because Steffi and I made it back home one day earlier than planned before. Those faces when I arrived... fantastic! The week before christmas was kind of busy with all kinds of preparations - my all-time favourite is wrapping presents. Mostly I put a lot of effort in it and have fun making them as nice as possible - I don't mind that they are ripped open too fast, I mean it's for the beauty under the christmas tree, no?

I also did some handcraft stuff like this star:

Christmas itself was wonderful and hilarious. We met with the whole family, had lots of fun, very good food and all were in a perfect mood. Christmas in my family is all about being together, laughing, cuddling, being loud and chaotic - exactly the way it has to be for me!!

This year I got a bunch of presents from my wishlist. One was an iPod nano touch which needed a selfmade little bag as protection:

Sorry for the bad photo quality but it was very difficult to get a good one done.

During the time at home I met my most important friends and had perfect times with them. Often you don't really know who or what is important but when you were away for quite a long time you appreciate people who really deserve your friendship and love!

Last but not least it was my birthday last week which my darling, my sister and I started at a small bistro having a delicious breakfast. In the afternoon we were lazy. The day ended with a good dinner together with my sister, playing Wii and laughing a lot!

My birthday dinner:

I hope you liked those few impressions from my time at home. Last sunday we returned to Aberdeen, we have to study for the exams in two weeks and at the end of this month I'll be back at Germany!

Today's also 12 of 12 which means there will be a second blog entry!!!

See ya later, lovelies!

12 of 12 (December)

One of my favourite posts to read on other blogs as I told you before - 12 of 12. Last month I didn't manage to participate in it but this time I really wanted to. Unfortunately I was completely busy today and the day started with me forgetting that it is the 12th. I was on my way to University when I remembered it and as it was already mid-day I decided to do kind of a special 12 of 12 today. The following twelve pictures are from my walk to University and, as you will see, it was a wonderful day with quite a lot of wonderful impressions.

It was sunny but (brrrr) cold!

This time I didn't take the way through the park. This picture reminds me of an advertisement for a vacation or something like that. 

I like those little houses that remember me of old Miss Marple films!

I think that's really a door a bishop should walk through.

No words - just amazing.

I felt being watched while taking photos of their neighbourhood - creepy ;).

I wished that was my house - isn't it beautiful?!

You can see quite a few of houses like that and I always ask myself who is living in there.

This was the street I took, it always looks exactly like in the middle ages. You should see that at night!

The Old Town House

Also Scottish cats like looking out of the window. 

The last nice impression of that walk - I almost arrived at University!

I hope you had fun taking a walk with me!!

See ya, my lovelies!

"Freedom and Whisky go together" (Robert Burns)

Scotland and Whisky is the same as Germany and Beer. No wonder that you can find distilleries everywhere in this country and although I don't like to drink Whisky I visited the Knockdhu Distillery together with the International Society of our University. I must admit that I cannot remember anything they told us (found it very difficult - if you're interested in the process of how to produce Whisky ask google ;)) so that I can only show you the impressions I got on this trip. Have fun!

 

No, that's no Whisky yet.

The distilleries own "guard"-dog :).

See ya, my lovelies!

Isle of Skye III

While the wind is blowing really hard outside I decided to make my last post about our Isle of Skye Trip. On the last day, which was also the day when we went back to Aberdeen, we decided to drive a bit over the island and then go back to the main land to visit Eilean Donan Castle. The weather was slightly better than the other day so that we could take a few more nice pictures of this impressive landscape but see yourself:

Those two pictures above show the view out of the dining room in the hostel - nice, isn't it?

That's a good example for how the people live on the Isle - often very far away from any kind of civilization. But I love the red houses between the trees. 

Made me feel like being in the wild west :)!

That was the last picture of the Isle of Skye. The next ones gonna be at the main land again. It was a nice weekend there, I really enjoyed the landscape, the people and even the rain made it kind of special. 

Eilean Donan Castle

The Secret Chamber - Steffi and I were alowed to enter because one guide let us in :).

Bye, Bye, it was a nice weekend!

See ya, loves!

Perfect Sunday!

Yeah, the second post for today. We had a really perfect Sunday which started with a typical English breakfast at the Pub, a long and wonderful walk back home and ended with a tasty self-made Pizza with all my flatmates!! Hope you had all such a perfect second Advent!!

Steffi - Me - Matthias

The weather was sooo perfect - could you imagine that it's already three weeks to Christmas?? 

Thanks to Luana, my lovely Italian flatmate, who prepared this tasty Pizza for all of us!!

Lots of kisses and cuddles, see ya!!
