My family and I started living in the Pergola District in November 2019. The ‘Pergolenviertel’ is located in Hamburg, Germany and about 1400 residential flats will be part to the district. This photo blog is about the experience of being one of the first residents in a new community built from scratch.

February 2020 Perspectives

February 2020 Perspectives

Hooray for leap year because it means that the February perspectives are, indeed, in February. The weather was abysmal yesterday and taking pictures would have just been grey on grey. At least it was dry for a few hours today.

During these dry hours in the afternoon the daughter played in the inner courtyard sandpit. All neighbours are keeping a fine coronavirus distance from each other. Otherwise we would have been joined by others I bet. There is yet to be child to child contact to be made but that cannot be far off now..we see more and more people with kids on a regular basis.
