these days, when i find time to go to the garden, a long row of sunflowers is greeting me. i'm not usually a fan of that particular flower - so big, so bright, so not subtle - but here it makes perfect sense. it's beautiful. i also love the patches of mixed wild flowers. i think they can happily stand up to all the vegetable bounty. not to be eaten, not to be used in any way, just there to make us smile.
oh, and i must not forget to ask you:
anyone interested in staying in berlin for a week in august? friends of mine are renting out their rather beautiful, split-level apartment in the middle of prenzlauer berg. the apartment is free from august 4 to august 10 (wed-wed). if you prefer, you could also arrive as early as tuesday, 3 aug and get a day for free, so to speak.
if you're interested, please email me (twinklestar at gmx dot net) for more info. the sooner the better!
i might also know of a place in berlin later in august, so please do get in touch if you're interested.
oh, and a very happy 14 juillet to all my friends in france!

You know that I would love to take K&P's flat but you know why I cannot. ;-)
Marvellous garden.
marion: it's not their apartment, it's another one close by, bigger and with a small roof terrace. but i know you've got better plans... ;)
It would be a great plan...but can decide now...
Berlin is in the list...but cannot say anything..
Love sunflower photos...
ok, third comment of the day. diese dämmerungsfotos sind toll.
such beautiful photos! i wish i could come to berlin, but it is not for me i am afraid, we are hoping to make it to china next year :)
¡girasoles!
I defo need to go back to berlin in less ungodly weather. I'll spread the word, though.
please let me know about later in august, i may be able to get a few days away from work to come back and visit berlin :)
also, sunflowers are so happy whats not to be liked :))) maybe i am just biased because they are my second favourite flower, after gerberas
Oh, I love sunflowers. It's not the most aesthetic flower, I agree, but there is something so happy and vibrant about them. When we got married 12 years ago i had small Italian sunflowers in my bouquet and in my hair.
