Fall Activities: Apple Picking

 

 

 

I'm not exactly sure what happened to the sky in the pictures, it was a sunny afternoon!

One of my favourite things in the fall-time is that we usually drive to Altes Land to take a walk and eat apple pie. A few years ago we stumbled upon Harms Hof, the oldest maintained farmyard in that region. It dates back to the 1500's and is still used today as a café and an event location. Behind the charming property is a river and a dike and the houses around that area sell homemade jams (and we got a raspberry-mango one :)). It is less crowded and touristy than the apple picking farms around (which may be because of their weird opening hours) and we managed to get a nice table next to the river to try their baked goods. All in all it was a wonderful way to cherish the golden October.

Well Plaid - Pumpkin Barn

    

   

Is there a better way to embrace Halloween time than to visit a pumpkin barn and bake and make pumpkin-y stuff in the kitchen? I don't think so, that's why I've been going nuts over every pumpkin I see.    

  

          

The epitome of fall festivities was my visit a few weeks back in Worth, which is practically located at the end of the world. After a very peaceful car ride through the woods and along fields and ponds you enter a barn full of every pumpkin type you can dream of.

         

The barn is mainly a market and showroom but you can carve pumpkins as well 

 

            or try their baked goods like pumpkin bread with homemade apple-pumpkin-jam or                                                  chocolate chip muffins with a cup of coffee. 

                                                                                                                         

Due to the wonderful warm weather this year the barn wasn't as cold as usual and you could easily spend two hours looking around and testing their food. At least if you are equally pumpkin-crazy. ;)

                     

We obviously couldn't leave without purchasing pumpkins for decoration, for kitchen           experiments with crazy names like Pink Jumbo Banana, and different spreads like the apple     pumpkin-jam I already mentioned.

                       

In general we were really lucky that the weather was so nice and we catched the golden hour right when we were planning (or had to) leave.

Tan Poloshirt at Hyatt Regency - Thailand Part One

Arriving at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Hua Hin in Thailand after quite some time (it's been three years!) and traveling was a bit like coming home. Knowing the area and even recognising some staff leaves a warming feeling but exploring the landmarks and scenery which were added during the years makes it exciting at the same time. 

We were roaming through the resort like we always do and even found matching flowers which is probably the reason why this first outfit post developed.

Shirt: Polo Ralph Lauren

Shorts: H&M

Belt: Liebeskind

Shoes: Converse

Bracelets: Juicy Couture,

            Kate Spade

I accessorized with my gold and silver jewellery since the hotel and my shirt both have the one and the other. What I particularly like about my top is not only the hardware like buttons and pins but also the beautifully detailed emblem with little white pearls. And you can never go wrong with the classic Converse.

The red doors and walls actually belong to The Barai, the Spa at the hotel, which also provides a few suites. They all have their own jacuzzi and terrace, some of them overlook the sea and beach.

But not only the exterior was beautiful and calming, the exotic plants somehow made it enchanted. And the mosaic flower resembles either a frangipani (the same flower like the one in my hair) or the blossom of a Mangosteen, one of my new favourite fruits.

This was just the first of many beautiful days, therefore stay tuned for more posts, not only from Hua Hin but as well from Bangkok!
