What lies ahead – Free printable calendar 2018

December 17, 2017 by nadel&gabel

It’s already so close to Christmas! And as this year Christmas nearly coincides with our move, it is time for a longer break here on this blog until we have fully arrived in our new home and a new year, excited about what lies ahead. But I am not saying good bye for this break without having thanked you, my readers, for reading and commenting my posts on this blog or (increasingly) on Instagram. Since I’ve started this blog in […]

Eastward II – Spreewald and Weimar

September 16, 2017 by nadel&gabel

There it is: an isolated wooden house painted red, in the garden chard, tomatoes and thyme are growing besides flowers, happy sheep are jumping around in their enclosure while the chicken doesn’t let disturb herself in her picking routine. The evening sun brings the adjoining field to glow  .. and bsssh … a mosquito’s bite again. And in the sun room of the little, cozy furnished cabin lightened by a chain of lights  we sit in this Bullerbü-like scene, sip […]

São Miguel III: Every road leads to Furnas – Furnas and the South coast

June 19, 2017 by nadel&gabel

There is a traditional saying that goes: Weather on the Azores changes within minutes. What never changes: Every road leads to Furnas. Actually we invented this saying, at least the second part 😉 , but nevertheless it’s true! There is a reason why the Azores islands are very well equipped with web cams that serve up-to-date pictures of the different spots on the islands. If the webcam of Lagoa do Fogo f.ex. is all grey (which happens very often) then there’s […]

São Miguel II: In the wilderness – The East Coast

June 6, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Deep valleys, lush tropical forests, steep cliffs, small roads – The East of São Miguel is the least developed and least populated part of the island. But before you head East it’s worth to make a stop in Ribeira Grande, especially to visit the contemporary arts centre Arquipélago. Not only the exhibitions but also the site – old buildings from a former tobacco and alcohol factory combined with new modern constructions create a fascinating complex – is worth a visit. […]

A year in Instagrams – Free printable calendar 2017

December 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  Third year, I guess we can call this a tradition by now! When it comes to Instagram I guess I’m not what you would call an ‘early bird’. But I finally made it to Instagram and I appreciate it as an extension to my blog, a kind of photo diary and mood board. So, after a bit more than a year nadel&gabel on Instagram, I found it to be nice idea to recap this first year in a printable calendar, trying […]

Hole-and-corner – Meandering between Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley

August 18, 2016 by nadel&gabel

“The term ‘hole-and-corner’ derives from an old English phrase meaning a secret place or a life lived away from the mainstream: somewhere you go to contemplate, create and be inspired.” (Hole&Corner Magazine) If you’re interested in stargazing, the Brecon Beacons in Wales, since 2012 accredited as “International Dark Sky Reserve” with only little light pollution, are one of the best places on earth. However, our this year’s summer holiday seemed to be ill-starred and – starting with the end – due to […]

Peace at the mountain – Hiding away in Bad Gastein

April 11, 2016 by nadel&gabel

When we had planned our stay at Bad Gastein we thought that Easter would be a good time for a little timeout. We didn’t know then how urgently we really would need a break. So our plan for our short Easter holiday in Bad Gastein was to do mainly … nothing! And beyond the seven mountains among the seven dwarves… … we found the perfect hideaway, the Hotel “Miramonte“: A former “Kurhotel” (spa hotel) build at the turn of the century, […]

Transition – Felted hazelnuts

October 11, 2015 by nadel&gabel

When I look out of my windows I see all colour shades from yellow to red – there are only a few trees around that still keep their green leaves. Autumn is in is full vibrant blossom. I try to soak the colours in as well as the sun, cause days are getting shorter, colder and the fog is creeping in. It’s the time of the year when you want to nest, prepare yourself for the long dark winter evenings. […]

High waves and steep cliffs – Costa Vicentina

September 27, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Now, in the hight of autumn, it seems weird to look at those pictures of sun and beach – unbelievable that it is only a few weeks ago! A reason more to wallow in memories… After a few days around Porto Covo we moved on, not very far, but a bit further down along Portugals west coast, towards the Algarve. At Brejão stayed at the small agriturismo Cerca do Sul that we found via the local tourism platform Casas Brancas […]
