Germany has been experiencing somewhat of a heatwave in the last few weeks. After the coldest winter on record we seem to be destined for the hottest summer. With no air-con in the apartment, we, and almost every other Berliner headed for the water. We cooled off, played cards, read the paper and I even got some knitting done. It almost felt like we were on proper summer holidays and not just pretending for the day. The best bit was renting one of those cute little 'boxes' for the day - they're typical German 'beach' affair and keep the sun off when it's hot and the protect you from the wind when it's a little bit chillier. Perfect. What did you get up to this weekend?

Hey Clare....I love your photos. Did you hear that? They are just so captivating. I like the one with playing cards-the ordinary-ness of it. I'm struck by the little boxes on the beach and am glad to have a bit of explanation. No umbrellas? Hmmmm.
Thanks for sharing.

Love those funny little beach boxes - such an eclectic mix with the cane shades reminiscent of Asian rickshaws and the seats with elements of European art deco!
My weekend in chilly Melbourne was spent glued to the computer, tracing the scent of leads to more pieces of the great family history jigsaw. SB
