And the living is easy...

My husband is out for the evening and here I am at home, sitting in what is left of the sunlight for today, enjoying a salad I've prepared with lots of local things... while reading a magazine - candles flickering in my window. I love (and require) a quiet night like this...

dinner

and so I'm off to take a long bath with Corinne Bailey Rae and the new bath salts I found today at the bio store... I love simple, easy going Summer evenings. Don't you? (image: holly becker for decor8)

Good times. Happiness and peace are very simply concepts that we make complicated.

I will take a bath this evening too. It was a stressy day in the advertising agency. By the way, I bought the livingetc mag today. 10 Euro at the Wiesbaden main station. *gulp* However - yes - it's a good issue. Enjoy your evening and relax!

Summer evenings have something, light, the warme temperature, and that easy living.
Simplicity of everyday things.

I'd like a bite of that salad right now :) I love my husband, but I do enjoy a night all to myself once and awhile. Enjoy your evening!

Dear Holly,
welcome so very much to Germany!!! For having just moved in, your flat looks very cosy already - we haven't managed that so very fast - you're amazing. Whenever you plan to visit the Rhine area, please stop by, I could definitely need some advice ;-)
Great to hear that you are getting acquainted with the area so fast. There are a few things in Germany that are really cool, just as the markets, that you mentioned, I enjoy them a lot myself and couldn't do without them.
Enjoy your evening alone, I', doing that, too at the moment, because my husband is away on a business trip for two days. We need our lazy evenings on our own every once in a while, don't we?

I love mellow evenings. I hope you have relaxed and gained a little of that energy you've been missing.

It's too hot for a bath here. Besides, we have no water pressure because some idiot across the street opened up the fire hydrant at full force (but I *did* just go outside with my dog and splash around in the mini-river that's rushing along the curbside).

Good to know there's someone out there who can afford a lazy evening.
I'm very, very envious... However, your blog is so full of positive vibes, I enjoy it in small bites between the huge pieces of Irish history...

Lovely_Sunflower - forgive me but your comment has me totally confused... Can you explain this about Irish history?

It is nice to have an evening all to yourself every now and again, isn't it? A quiet, peaceful summer evening, ah...

Just wanted to welcome you back Holly! So glad to see you enjoying yourself - you deserve it after all the hard work of moving! I think it would be completely unusual if you weren't a little tired after all you have been up to! A major overseas move :)

Did you see this month's copy of Living at Home? There is a recipe for a plum cake I want to make - fresh plums from the farmer's market, yum :)

I agree with Susannah, it's so nice to see you tweeting on EU time, and I wish you all the best in getting settled in :)

Best, best, best!
xoxo

Love the little beige napkin and coaster. Would it be possible to have the brand names?
Thanks so much.
