It’s Halloween time, and here’s a quick DIY for you or the kids. Simply take a red candle and drip the melted wax on some block candles, and then press some nails into the candles. Voilà! So easy anyone can do it! Text and photos by Ann-Kristin Øvreeide, Halloween 2013
Halloween treats

Halloween is a great time to get your children’s imagination going, and it should be a hands on operation rather than an open your purse operation! It is pumpkin season, so keep your little ones busy by letting them attack the pumpkin. Keep the seeds to dry and roast in the oven. Or try making some […]

Autumn blues

“Autumn Blues”. It’s a 1960 piano instrumental by Bobby Darin. It’s also an apropos title for this time of year seeing as autumn has just arrived and can bring about some of those blue feelings. There are several reasons for that. Life gets busier, days get shorter, weather gets colder, and leaves get shaken from […]

The last weekend of September was a good choice for the Oktoberfest in Alzingen – the “Little Bavaria” of Luxembourg – at least for the occasion: Beer, costumes, hot dogs, bands and horns, happy people – and more beer.

September is the month when our lives regain speed after the summer slow down. More meetings at work, more business trips, kids back to school, parents evenings, children’s activities, night school, language classes, more traffic and the list goes on. So adjusting back to the pace can be tough. Already the weather isn’t helping us […]
Autumn Equinox – balance between light and dark
18/09/2013 by 5 Comments
This Saturday is the Autumn Equinox. I started marking the seasonal changes a few years ago. It started out just as a mark in my diary, my own thoughts to keep me company on these little-remembered dates. I’d wash the windows for the Spring Equinox, to remind myself to clean back the cobwebs in my […]
