FrühlingsFest Observations

April 30, 2013

Having lived here for a little while now, I consider myself vastly more experienced in all matters bier fest than I was at this same point last year.    Across Bavaria there will be much excitement this evening as new Maibaums are hidden away in preparation for the big day tomorrow (more on that later) [...]

Legoland Florida

April 26, 2013

I still haven’t caught up, so please forgive me while I jump back a couple of weeks to our Florida trip… I wonder whether the inventor of Lego ever envisaged enormous theme parks based on his little (then) wooden bricks back when he came up with them in the 1940′s.  Or if he knew how his [...]

April 24, 2013

*The name I give to the little trips I take home from time to time.  The little trips that help keep this particular Expat going… They give me the opportunity to reaffirm my sense of self, complete with the added bonus of  the chance to catch up with a few “history friends” (the term I [...]

Eskimo Dreaming… (Iglu Dorf – Zugspitze)

April 10, 2013

Warning.  This post is very long and contains far too many pictures…. Back in December, I was browsing through a UK newspaper’s site (one of my strange expat addictions) when I found an article about this place in a travel section.  I immediately thought of Mr R and his obsession with snow, and wondered whether he loved [...]

Lulu & Tintin

April 8, 2013

Moving house on the day you give birth to your first child is not advisable.   Believe me, I have done it. Looking back, those first days of being a new Mother were quite tough.    Having a beautiful brand new baby, but not really knowing what I was doing, and all in a new [...]
