Memories of childhood when the pantry at my grandparents’ house was filled with jars of beautiful apricot jar, peach and raspberry. When my grandma would be – from the early morning – baking amazing cakes and the fragrance of different jams would fill the house. I loved those weekends. I hope she is smiling now as the pantry is being filled up with apricot and blueberry, plum and tangerine jam.

All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.” – Martin Luther

There is nothing more glorious than the beams of the sun in autumn mornings. I love this soft warmth that covers everything with an orange glow.
Evenings of softness, golden sunshine, birds of laughter, life of calm togetherness.
