Lean Timms

And I’ve never experienced a more beautiful spring.

Forest floors of vitsippan (wood anemones), canola fields rolling down to the sea, rhubarb cake, windows open, washing on the line, fågelsångsnatten (the night of birdsong), foraging and cooking ramslök (wild garlic), evening bike rides to the lake, Valborgs day bonfire, orchards full of apple blossoms, cows and horses and sheep are out, local white and green asparagus, apple blossoms, chestnut blossoms, walls of lilac and clematis, and nightingales at midnight.

I’m living in fairytale land.

In the German countryside with Laura.


Butterfly ranunculus, a new moon in Aries, that denim jacket, wild chives, sweet Carry, night bike rides, shooting stars, the first lilac, pancake chats, Pretty Girl, the dream scarf on spring loan. Fügung - now forever in my word treasure.

Always meet your heroes. Especially when they are as warm and welcoming as Marieke and Laura and Nora of . From a very lovely Saturday in Berlin where I serendipitously found myself watching these three make pretty and delicious in Laura’s apartment, ready to host . I was immediately transported to a past Instagram life - a slower time of gatherings and table settings and excitedly photographing quiet bts moments. Beautiful, connected, inspiring and oh so nice.

About a month and a bit too late, but thank you for including these two pics in your Feb issue.

Left my happy new home, my snow loving Ned, and tulip season to fly to Australian for a few weeks of work. Already can’t wait to be back.
