Bächlihof - Pumpkin Farm

This autumn I went twice to Bächlihof, aka the pumpkin farm, once with Alessio and then with the kids in my class. Both times the weather was lovely and it was very busy.

For Alessio now it is a bit boring he tells me as he is too old to jump around on the hay stacks. But we at least enjoyed our lunch and dessert.

It had the usual different types, shapes and colours of gourds, I do so love to see the colours. I, of course just had to buy some decoration. Autumn has been really lovely mostly nice weather, let us see what happens in November. Already the shops are full of Christmas stuff, still way too early to buy anything in my opinion.

Hope you are all have a lovely weekend

The Bookinn, Vilnius Lithuania

We are back from our holiday in Vilnius, Lithuania, I thought I would share the photos from where we stayed. It was called Bookinn B&B, I chose it because of all the bookish stuff around. At the beginning Alessio was not too impressed as it had no TV, but he soon changed his mind. When we first arrived the driver of our car was not so sure we had arrived at the right place. I had seen lots of photos of the place so I knew it was the right place.

The room it self had two twin beds and really that was all, of course we had our own bathroom. The room was rather cold but they provided a heater. If you came in winter of course not sure if a heater would be enough.

We did not take breakfast as we wanted to sample all the lovely cafes on offer. There were some shelves throughout the place with lots of books, I left 4 books and took one. I liked the place and all the bookish stuff too. But if you are after amenities then this is not your place. You can have breakfast there, we just decided not too.

The full address is Bookinn, Dominikony g. 6. Vilnius 01131 Lithuania

Enjoy our Sunday

Pavillion Le Corbusier, Zurich

In July Alessio and I went to visit the Pavillon Le Corbusier, it is such an impressive building and every time I was in this area I wanted to go inside. In fact it was closed for quite a few years and now it has reopened.

The building is the last one designed by the Swiss-French architect and his only building made by
glass and steel. The architects Silvio Schmed and Arthur Rüegg, restored the museum back to the original state.

Inside are paintings, drawing, sculptures, posters and furniture, we also wondered up to the roof top  for the view. I was finally happy to have seen the inside of this place, Alessio did not share my enthusiasm at all.

This weekend there is nothing planned, I am just getting stuff ready for our holiday next week. I am looking forward to get away for a bit.

Happy Weekend
