Meet my new guardian spirit, #Mokosa. #Slavic deity, protector of women, #spinning, water features, crops, childbirth, farmsteads - so rare sources say. Flax/ hemp will be spun later this week. Thanks to Michael @TattooBob in #Katendrecht, love it!

Snapshot of one of the many weekly markets on the waddenisland of Texel, featuring yarn by the breed of the same name. A heaven for all knitters and spinners, sturdy, warm and perfect for socks.

Picture of a very detailed and colourful astrological clock in the Cathedral of Münster, a city full of churches and history. Brown and golden dominate the colour scheme as you would expect from a medieval stone building. Showing moon phases as well as zodiacs and other scientific depictions. You will also find the market in front of the Cathedral; well worth a visit.

Picture of the ceiling in one of the stunning building of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. An intriguing example of Islamic architecture, where no being is depicted, but texts of the Quran, mosaics of various geometric shapes in subtle as well as vibrant colours and the most wonderful little courtyards and gardens. A building full of history, bloody at times, but always full of lessons.

A colourful mosaic covering a curvy bench in Parc Guell, Barcelona, Spain. Gaudi was not only famous for his Sagrada Familia, but has also designed some very inspirational buildings and sculptures. Blue seems to be a dominant colour.

Street in the Old City of Sana’a, capital of #Yemen. White lined doors and windows set in brown stone or clay buildings dominate the #architecture, not only here. Even more impressive is the souk; I will never forget the travels I was privileged to do between the wars with my father, who worked in technical development projects around the #Arabic world

Picture depicting the entry stone at Bru Na Boine, aka Newgrange. Famous for its triple spiral or triskele and yet another breathtaking Neolithic design the valley in Ireland has to offer. No metal was used to incise any of the kerbstones found around Knowth, Dowth or Newgrange.
