by Krista | Oct 18, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
During my stay at the beautiful Italian country farmhouse, Casa Scaparone in Alba, Italy, I looked forward to breakfast every single day. Not once did we have packaged cereal or dry pastries, instead everything was homemade and served with endless cups of just-made...
Koffie Verkeerd and A Winter Stroll Through Amsterdam
by Krista | Oct 16, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. Not simply because I have beloved family and friends there, but also because of its fascinating history and inimitable walkable-ness. I love this city any time of year, but there's something about late Autumn and...

by Krista | Oct 14, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs

by Krista | Oct 11, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
It has been pouring rain all day here in Queensland as I endure the throes of a ghastly cold with copious amounts of tea, coffee and hot, garlicky soup whilst watching Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries. On such a stormy day I always think of the Netherlands, so I thought...

A Stormy Spring Morning and Homemade Sausage
by Krista | Sep 21, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
It's a stormy Spring morning on the Darling Downs and I couldn't be happier. After a particularly long dry spell it is pure bliss to hear rain drops clattering on my tin roof and drenching my garden with much-needed moisture. I love days like this, quiet, peaceful...

After our jaunt through the vineyards of the Black Forest in Germany yesterday, today we're going to meander through the ruins of a medieval castle. I love how this German castle, like so many others, is perched atop the highest hill, providing commanding views and...
