Visit from home

My mother and sister were on a visit here this week for a few days. This was a long-awaited visit, and a much needed contact with home and close people after a little bit stressful time and also to bridge the days until our own holiday in Austria starts. We had horrible weather, it was raining most of the time but you know what: it did not matter. It was cosy at home, though rainy not cold outside and we utilized the few drop-free moments to take a walk at the shore-line and through the city, and to visit the zoo park nearby. We indulged ourselves and cooked well, and spent one whole afternoon with wellness pure. Tanya left us alone and visited St. Petersburg, and there was something very warm and familiar within this Biasi-girls togetherness. Antonia did fit in, but she has currently a little bit too strong will according to my taste and we have to still work harder on educating her…well, next week then.

Jochberg, Easter - there is a little reflection in the window

 

After a few days in Vienna we head to our place, Jochberg. Where we feel so much at home, it is hard to describe. I could never skip this trip, though it was a little exhausting with overly full trains for Easter. There is still some snow covering the fields in this mountain village, but when the sun shines it is getting very warm. So it happened on Easter Sunday, when this picture was taken. Do you recognize Antonia and me in the window reflections? Mama, as always, decorated the houes nicely, this time in Easter style. During the week, we walk regularly our "Schradl-Dorf-Runde", meet with family, go skiing. Antonia is overly happy to see all her cousins and aunts, her uncle, granny and babushka and deduschka. And to walk around in the garden. She surely is a Tyrolean girl :)

 

Breakfast Arrangement

Breakfast in Vienna - from the scratch

We just arrived in Vienna and had our first breakfast - a mischmasch of items we had in our bags and stuff i bought quickly at the supermarket. I love those first meals, there is somethings special in it (non routine, yesterday late pizza as well). The light is also beautiful in this rented flat which adds to the overall mood. Which is .....yes, really good....
