Hey everyone!
March just ended and I have to say, it’s one of my favourite periods.
Once a year, spring just pops up in the middle of winter and says hello. It happens every time in March, just for few days, just for everyone to be surprised and to think again of all the good memories from last summer…
Now I’m used to this little joke and I know it’ll pass, it’s not spring yet and the snow and the cold will be back soon… But these few days are so good ! It's a perfect excuse to go out, sit at a terrace, drink a coffee, do nothing and just feel the air and enjoy the sun. I like this little preview, it's helping me to get through this never-ending final part of winter.
So, today I decided to present to you my favourite place from last summer. It’s a café/bar called Zar, located in the Mattenhof area. I like this spot because:
1. it’s like being at home, a small place where people stop by after work and it seems that everyone knows everyone and even if you know none you feel instantly welcome.
2. they serve delicious cocktails. Last summer I used to drink Amaretto Sour (after of course having tried all the different ones) and this winter I have been enjoying Zar, a hot drink that mixes calvados, apple juice, cinnamon syrup and a slice of orange. Mmmmh !
This month too, I was glad to recieve my grandma’s Christmas gift. A real Eames coat-hanger! It’s said it was designed for children but I don't care, I love the flashy colours.
Breakfast of the day : yoghurt, fried egg, crunchy choco muesli and black coffee.
Last week, it was snowing again and it’s not warm outside yet, but I look forward to the real spring and summer!
See you next month!

Good morning,
I am really happy about how this bouquet turned out. I made it two days ago, just after a rain shower, only with flowers and plant from the garden. I love the colour palette and how some of the flowers are already a bit faded but still beautiful such as the lilac: perfect imperfection!
As it was just after the rain, I discovered a little snail climbing on a branch of lilac. I left it on the bouquet as an homage to the flower paintings of the great Flemish masters.
I wish you all a great and sunny day!
Elodie
