'Home' again???


It's wonderful to see Ulf's family again and see familiar places too.  Some things have changed; many things have not...  This week the family has been busy getting ready for Malte and Anna's wedding this Saturday.  We're all looking forward to celebrating this special day with them.

Touchdown in Germany!!

Touchdown in Amsterdam 5:36am yesterday morning... We're doing surprisingly well after 12 hours straight from KUL, a two hour stopover, and 8 hours from MEL before that. We actually slept on the plane a few hours and watched fewer movies than last time(!), drank lots of water and freshened up during stopover... Now we just have to adjust our body clocks and our minds to German!!
The weather is cool here - it's autumn - but everything's still green and lush.  The summer vegetables are finishing, apples hang from trees, and pumpkins are now available for eating!  It's also time for mushrooms, so hopefully we'll be off to the forest to hunt some out in the next few days...!

Another German Adventure

Next week we'll be flying to Germany for another visit to Ulf's family, and to attend his brother's wedding!  We're very excited to see his family again, and also to visit some old friends.

The last week or so has been very busy with preparations and last minute 'catch-ups' with our friends.  And the coming week will be no different!

We're looking forward to whatever our time in Germany may bring our way..... a little rest/holiday would be good for us right now. :)
