\"PicKnit\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another PicKnit in the Westerpark was the outcome of the Amsterdam KIP Day 2009. And what a day we had! We were sitting in the shade of the big trees. We enjoyed Cassandra<\/a>’s stories about the Sock Summit (and admired jealously all the fab yarn she bought). We loved Cinzia’s home made jam – Cinzia is from Sicily, where they invented the real cucina. Zwaalie <\/a>wore her beautiful ‘first cardigan’ (actually too warm weather) and showed gorgeous shawls. We saw Claudia finish her hat and we complimented Alex <\/a>on her new socks. Nancy<\/a> works on such a beautiful brioche-lace project (that’s new, new, new!), that you can only give it a French name (I will send it to you!). I started Ysolda’s Ishbel<\/a> and got totally addicted to the pattern.
\nYes, I’m back.<\/p>\n

We’ve been away for well over 4 weeks. We camped for 3 whole weeks on Camping Plauns<\/a> in Pontresina <\/a>in Switzerland. A great camping surrounded by impressive nature. It was wonderful to hear the marmots whistle again, to smell the mountain air and to feel grass under your feet. I climbed Mount Pers<\/a>, I walked to the Boval H\u00fctte on my own and set a personal record and I walked the ‘Gletscherweg<\/a>‘ from Bergstation Diavolezza<\/a> to Morteratsch.<\/p>\n

\"On<\/a><\/p>\n

We had all kind of weather: sunny days, warm days, but also a lot of rain \u00e1nd snow. But living on 1890 meters means that sitting in front of your tent enjoying a nice and warm evening is only a dream. So we drove to Italy. We stayed two days in the Appennino Reggiano on Camping Il Faggio<\/a>. We had a campsite for us alone. We drove on to Florence, quite the opposite on Camping Panoramico<\/a>. Oh my, it was hot in Italy. But we roamed the city, sometimes with Italian icecream (yummie), visited some museums, we had lovely lunches and diners<\/a>, sometimes great quality and tradition for an unbelievable price: Palle Doro<\/a>. I bought a great bag<\/a> (which is not at all difficult in Florence with bags on every marketplace<\/a>) and I fell hopelessly in love with this guy David by Donatello<\/a>. On our way back we spend a day and a night on Camping Tahiti, which we called Tahiti Prison<\/a> because of all the rules and regulations and, not to forgot, the pink wristband they forced us to wear.<\/p>\n

\"David\"But: we had our lovely warm evenings in front of the tent with a limoncello. Mark my words: the new trendy drink! Now, back to work, back to normal life. If there is a job somewhere in the world in which you can be on holiday for ever, I will apply for it. I’m a real holiday pro, you see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
