What is it about summer, that you like
most?
I like most of the summer the long
day's light. Spending more time outside, having my morning coffee in the garden, making
holiday plans and plan to do some studio work outside.
Where did you spend summer vacations,
when you were a child? What are your favourite memories of that time?
As a child we spend many vacations in
the mountains in Europe (the Alps or Scandinavia) The best memories I have is that we as
a family spend some nice and cosy weeks together. We made walks through flower fields, rivers &
snow, camping wild, see wildlife close by and at the end of the
holiday we always made cheese fondue.
Do you have any story to tell, about
something special, that happened to you in summer?
When I was a student at the School of
Art I hitch hiked with a friend to Bretagne in France. We had no
money to spend and on the beach we discovered mussels.
We collected a bag full, cooked them and ate some...They were full of
sand because we forgot to wash them... we had no diner. This was once but
never again!
What music makes you feel summer?
Could you share a recipe of one of your
favourite summer dishes?
