This was such a beautiful sunset. I filmed it last year and found it again on my harddisk today.

So I quickly opened a new YouTube account and will upload more videos, soon.

I hope, you like it .

Today my clients had a little present for me. I loooove presents but who doesn’t?

Last week they went to Japan to see the famous cherry blossom. One day, I have to do this, too.

Incence Sticks from Japan

What a great gift. I really love natural room perfums. By the way, I have to write a post about Papier d’Armenie, too.

Anyway, these incence sticks are sooo great. They have “the clean, cool scent of a mountain stream”.

Ok, family is back to Germany. Although it is always nice to have family around one thing is fact: you get nothing done.

Therefore let me start with a review of this weekend. First we headed down to Rennes to visit IKEA. Of course we bought something. Will post about it because I think it is really handy.

After that we went to our favourite Asia Shop and bought some fresh noodles, coriander, mini pak choi, soy bean sprouts and a vitalising Ginseng drink that a korean student of mine recommended against spring tiredness. It seems to work. Will post about this, too.

Beef...

For saturday I made a mix of minced meat, soy sprouts and pak choi flavoured with some finely chopped ginger and garlic, soy sauce and served with fresh coriander leaves and rice.

...and Porc.

On sunday we had the same basis of soy sprouts and pak choi, this time with porc meat and asian noodles. The whole dish was also a pit more spicy as you can see by the little red devil on the plate .

One of my favourite cities in the region is Dol de Bretagne. It is a very old town with a beautiful city center with houses that date back to the 16th century.

Dol de Bretagne is reputated to be the hometown of the scottish royal house of Stuart. The family arrived in Britain with the army of William the Conqueror.

There are many little cafés and restaurants on the main street and next to the cathedral. My favourite café is the Bar PMU on the “Place de La Poste”. As you can see on the picture, they serve Lavazza .
The city is crowned by its cathedral which is dedicated to Saint Samson, one of the seven founding Saints of Brittany. He was born in Wales and died in Dol de Bretagne.

If you are in Dol de Bretagne you should visit the Cathedraloscope, a museum right next to the cathedral that shows the visitor how cathedrals were build. Very interesting!

The pictures on the beach are taken in Vivier sur Mer at the “Baie de Mont Saint Michel”. We were close to full moon so the tide was very low as you can see. The area is famous for its oysters and mussels.
