A couple of weeks ago, we bundled ourselves against the cold and headed out on the town with a couple of friends for the Basel Museum Night (the one night a year that all the museums in Basel are open until 2 am, with one entrance fee). In about 5 hours, we only managed to make it to 3 museums (hah!) – our favourite of which was the Basler Papiermühle (paper mill). Contrary to what the name suggests, the mill doesn’t only make paper – it’s also a fully functioning letterpress printery.. they even cast their own lead letters! Totally awesome if you ask me :)

Ooohhh! I wish I could have been there! Did you sneek out with a few letters in your pocket?
I was devising ways to do that, but with so many children around they were keeping a close eye on people trying to sneak stuff into their pockets :) Maybe when you come and visit (and please do!) we can both go in with trench coats on.. that’s not suspicious at all :)
