I visited a friend yesterday, and we watched *The King's Speech*, great film. It was nice to sit there on the couch, eating chicken legs and watching the DVD!
I wanted to show you the photos I took on Saturday here in Kaiserswerth. You can see my route through the park, where the moat used to be. The little bridge is where the main street crosses over, very small and narrow. Then 2 pics taken at the Rhine, followed by some photos of the main street with the pretty, old houses. Then the last 2 photos from the path parallel to the Rhine, which runs alongside the *Barbarossa Wall*, named after Kaiser Barbarossa who lived here in the 12th century. The last photo shows the steps leading back down to the moat. It's a pretty place to live, and there are some nice places to walk.
And here are the journal pages I made in the night from Saturday to Sunday as I couldn't sleep. I think I am on a blue trip at the moment; whatever, it was, as usual fun to make!
So, enough for today! Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks for dropping in!
Such a lovely place to live, Valerie. Has loads of character .. love the old architecture. Lovely you have so much 'green space' to walk and enjoy. Your journal pages are fun ... I didn't know you kept a journal as well as everything else. So multi-talented! Thanks for showing us your surroundings. Great to see. hugs from Mexico, Donna

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Valerie. You can't have the beautiful greenery without rain and cloudy skies. I really like the photographs you shared with us. You have a wonderful area for your walks which is a great way to exercise. I enjoyed the photos of the buildings; they reminded me of the place we lived when we were in Nuremberg. We lived on the second floor and shared the unit with another couple.
ReplyDeleteBLUE...I love blue and your journal pages are terrific.
Have a great creative week with more walks to enjoy your gorgeous surroundings.
Hugs,
