Scattered Strawberry Summer

I didn't do much else in Germany, everything was closed for holidays. We had a walk in central Dusseldorf on Christmas day, surprisingly there were quite a few people there but underground was absolutely deserted and it felt a bit creepy with nobody around! We also went to Wuppertal, it's ok but it was a bit boring with everything closed and not much too look at.

I had an early flight home and then two days later I was back there to fly to Lisbon with my SO to celebrate my actual birthday and New Years.

 Yum. This is a cake I got for my boyfriend's birthday. Obviously, I didn't do it myself, I bought it from Patisserie Valerie. Yes, their cakes are expensive, but they taste and look amazing. In UK, compared to my home country) have a very poor selection of cakes available to buy. In the supermarket, you can only get what I call "plastic cakes", loads of icing, dry and tasteless. Well, you should cakes in Lithuanian supermarkets... You'd be spoiled for choice. Of course, they do not look as impressive as cakes at Patisserie Valerie, however they're equally tasty and relatively cheap. I would fly home just for cakes and beaches on Curonian Spit. If only easyjet would fly to Lithuania...

My friends birthday is coming up so I ordered a large canvas print of this photo collage.  I really hope it will look good.
