Sunday Scenes #1

A healthy start to the day… Can't say the same for the end of the day, which I finished with a piece of raspberry cake. No regrets though, it tasted amazing.

Made the most of the gorgeous weather with a walk in the Donaupark, probably my 2nd favourite park in Vienna (Prater will always be my number 1...)

Starting to really feel like autumn, even got a chance to wear my favourite wooly cardigan today.

May have gotten a little over-excited with the spray paint… but it was worth it. I'll post pictures of the kitchen as soon as I finish hanging the last picture, but it's nice to have everything finally come together. It takes me absolutely ages to finish projects and then I'm so happy when it's done, I wonder why I didn't make the changes sooner.

Tatort! Sunday evening must-see TV.

Oh Vienna! | Vorgartenmarkt

 
One of the things I love about living in Vienna are the little local markets in the districts. Of course Naschmarkt is lovely, but actually buying groceries there? The crowds of tourists are enough to scare of even the most determined shopper... One of the things that I missed when we lived in our old flat was not having a local market, so I was super-excited to discover the Vorgartenmarkt when we moved to the 2nd district last year.

The market was initially in need of a little loving attention, with pensioners making up the majority of the customers but when tewa (which I love so much I'll cover in a seperate post) moved in, a few other stands popped up, including an organic butcher, coffee shop and Adamah organic grocers. Now on Friday and Saturday when the farmer's stands are there, the market is full of young families and the odd hipster. Say what you want about gentrification, but it's nice to see the Vorgartenmarkt being brought back to life.
