The story continues with a view from the Isterberg tower, which is stunning. It is a vantage point in the region of Bad Bentheim and is located close to a nature reserve – Naturdenkmal Isterberg. Fields of cows and 58m later, We are rewarded with a view of rolling hills and trees.
I’ve been away in the last few weeks – London (again), North of the Netherlands and last weekend in Germany! I’ve never been to Germany proper….I don’t think flying through Frankfurt qualifies as seeing the country so I won’t mention that. As you guess, that has been corrected, amended, changed. Now I can say with […]
I always say that the art of being a good mother is knowing when to buy a pizza….rather than make! See that holiday to Rome in February made a huge impression on me, on us and on my desire to make pizza. As soon as we returned, determined to be Mama par excellence, I set […]

More often than not, a typical Indonesian meal combines sweet, sour, […]
Cakes fit for a Princess. With frosting to match. Turning four is no easy feat and we celebrated by having a kid’s version of our street party. I decided to make loads of pink cupcakes, frosted with Chocolate cream and decorated with hagelslag. This post is all about the frosting…. my amazing Creme Fraiche frosting.
