I am now also vaccinated
Just as Rob I have now been vaccinated against the coronavirus. Well, that means I had my first shot. The second one will follow in a month. Also, I got the Moderna vaccine.

Our vacation to Lesvos

Palm trees
When I saw this photo again I realized that I want palm trees in my garden… … and then, with a big smile, I know one day I will! Now the days are getting colder again (and no, we can not complain this far this year) the longing for our beloved island Lesvos is growing…
