The ladies of the village are getting together to create Adventsgesteck (Christmas arrangements), something i haven't tried my hand at yet, so i'm happy to volunteer some time...
It's hectic inside the Church, where the ladies have gathered to create the arrangements. They're all professional - have been doing it for years. I watch for a few minutes to get my bearings - they know exactly what to do: In a matter of minutes - candles, hot glue, plastic wire, glittery balls, some greens get transformed into centrepieces in their deft hands.
While a part of me is in awe of these women, something doesn't feel right -- i feel we can do away with all this glittery, plastic stuff -- we don't need to burden Mother Earth with unnecessary waste just because it's Christmas. Having a cat and our own vegetable garden have made me more aware of Nature. I decide to use only natural materials except for the mandatory candle-holders (to prevent fire accidents). The hot-glue, metallic wires and plastic glittery stuff I set aside and with bare branches, some greens, holly, pine cones, moss, dried berries, fruits and jute strings - slowly i make a couple of Nature inspired advent decorations.

While i'm making Naans, the other two are happily snuggling, snoring and radiating peace!!!
As a wise man once said "Eat and the whole world eats with you, cook and you have to cook all alone"

When your visitors bring their London weather with them, there's not much you can do except staying indoors.
And because some of us are handy at baking, there's always a plenty to satisfy the sweet tooth. As if the cakes and the hot chocolates aren't enough, some can't wait to dig into a gooey "Berliner"
And for those salty cravings in Switzerland, there's always local Cheese and "Wild" to savour...
