Another year, another birthday

…and another city visited….spent a very sedate and cultured weekend in Berlin. Is it not funny that you can meet a person very randomly or through mutual friends; and than agree to meet in a random city not knowing whether you will actually get on with them without the other friends being around and find you have so much common. Human behaviour never seems to stop amazing me. I’ll be posting photos from my trip soon, for now enjoy this photo of a slice of my favourite cheesecake in the world ;)
