In the coming months, I’ll be pimping this blog and sending my astounding levels of traffic toward a couple of the projects I’m working on these days. Some of these projects are new, but most are the latest instalments of continuing collaborations. One of the nearest and dear to me is the one I’ve… Continue reading Old Braunfels…getting the band back together edition

That golden hour
After a quite glorious autumn, we had our first proper snow here in Munich this last weekend and the nights have even been downright blustery. Seems ungrateful to complain about it, though, considering it’s been so beautiful thus far. And a stormy day can be delightful in its own way. Insert cliche about there… Continue reading That golden hour
My tail is wagging as I bound through the undergrowth
The sky seems to have moved in closer, and the day slams shut so much earlier. Knowing that sundown is creeping towards us makes me want to pack as much into those depleting moments of sunlight. The leaves that are left are somehow racing to the ground now – they pile up and make… Continue reading My tail is wagging as I bound through the undergrowth
give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit

All that grey darkness is but a memory today.… Continue reading through and through

For mid October we’re having a genuine heatwave in Munich. It’s too late to call it Indian Summer, I believe. It’s warm and gorgeous in the daytime and… Continue reading Getting back outside
in your autumn sweater
It’s seasonal, I’m sure. The air gets cooler; those around me start whinging about it. Those of us walking dogs get our parks back and needn’t share them with fair-weather nature lovers. People’s social media feeds are filled with photos and posts about leaves and Pumpkin Spice hot beverages and the like. Some who’ve had… Continue reading in your autumn sweater
not too late in the year to eat out on the terrace
If they write something about me after I’m gone, I hope it at least makes passing mention to my love of autumn. It’s so much a part of my story that I can’t help but get choked up at the thought of it. When I was a teenager, I listened… Continue reading not too late in the year to eat out on the terrace
