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 :)



Valentines Day doesn’t mean much to me, but we saw this leaf while we were walking in the forest the other day and I thought it was appropriate – even if I am a day late! I also thought this might be a good time to restart the blog after a rather long holiday, part of which was spent at home in Australia.. but I’ll post more about that later.
