I know I have kept you out of the loop for some time now. The good thing about that is that it is because I have had a wonderful fall so far, too busy doing all kinds of things. So here is what has happened:

Uncle Bear x 2! On October 3, my big sister gave birth to a tiny little girl (7 weeks ahead of time) called Caroline. I have been to see her at the hospital, where she needs to stay there until she can take all of the day’s meals with my sister.

I also went to visit my little sister in London (she has moved there, in case you forgot). Along with seeing her, partying, playing tourists, I also visited the TownhouseDK, a small part of the London Design Festival. TownhouseDK is a Townhouse entirely decorated with Danish design. Pretty cool. Below a picture of my sister in front of where she works (view more photos from London trip).

I also visited my friend Morten in Lausanne, which is starting to become some kind of semi-annual tradition. I really like the area around Lake Geneva, I must say. I was lucky to be there at the same time as Lausanne-Ouchy had a “city-party” with all kinds of events, which filled the streets with people. Below a picture from somewhere between Lutry and Lausanne (maybe Pully, I can’t remember), with Lake Geneva and the Alps faintly visible in the background.

That was some of what I experienced so far this Fall. I’ll return as soon as I can with some points on a couple of interesting books I’ve read and some great new music I’ve discovered. Meanwhile, I find myself spending more and more time on Facebook — if you are not already signed up, I can highly recommend it as a great way of staying in touch with people you know, care about and love :-)

Charlotte, my wonderful little sister, has moved to London. While I miss her incredibly, I know she is having the time of her life, of which she will, from time to time, update us on with her blog.

On the upside is of course the excuse I now have to visit London more frequently. If you are also planning on going there, remember the London Design Festival (September 15-25), which my sister says is going to be a super cool event.

Today, my little sister (Charlotte) and I met up with my big sister (Bettina) and my nephew (Mads). We live on opposite sides of the same lake (satellite photo), so we met at the lake and had a long nice stroll.

The weather was (and still is here in the early evening) beautiful, although I think Mads felt a little warm at times. That was nothing a bit of softice couldn’t cure.

I also took Mads for his very first swing (photos below) — can you see why I love him? Have a wonderful Sunday evening :-)
