This year’s Paléo Festival in Nyon was special for several reasons:

It was also extremely hot and dry weather and every night we came back home we had to take a long shower to wash all the dust off. This year we took Chloe-Sofia with us for the first time. I can’t imagine a more family-friendly music festival! …

For many years I used to buy new winter clothes to keep up with the ever changing fashion. But 99% of the clothes I got was made of cheap materials and next season, the clothes would look old and shapeless.
