Winter has arrived. The first real cold wave sweeps over Western Europe, with snow and freezing temperatures. With this cold I will travel to Amiens. Not for fieldwork, luckily, as I’d have to take my warmest mountain clothing.

No, the winter is for modelling, safely behind my computer, looking at the snowflakes swirling behind the window. Fieldwork is on hold till the summer sun is back.

But hopefully, Amiens will bring some nice stories and pretty pictures, along with the necessary knowledge to continue on the followed track!
