Hi Everybody!
The weekend went by much too quickly, and now the new week has begun, and we are into Advent and Hanukkah. I wish all of you who are celebrating a blessed time.
At Tag Tuesday our new theme has been chosen by our lovely and talented Wilma, and is 'hearth and home', so time to think about cosy evenings spent by the fire in the decorated home. My first tag is showing the home from outside, the next one will be inside where it's warm:
Tuesday is also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T gang. My drink is once again cappuccino, served in one of my Mum's old bone-china cups:
On Saturday I met up with G in Neuss and he gave me a guided tour of some parts of the town that I hadn't visited before. We started off with a cappuccino at the cafe opposite the station:
We walked through the town park, a pretty and peaceful place especially on a busy Saturday:
The cormorants were having a hang out in a tree by the lake:
This locomotive has been part of the kids' playground for a long time; G had fond memories of playing there as a boy:
I loved this bronze, called the 'egg-thief':
This one looked happy and a bit spaced out:
A canal leads through the park with lots of water fowl:
And the heron allowed us to take a photo:
The way back into town led us along the old walls and past some ancient towers:
And this little watch tower has been put to good use:
It's a pizza tower, and G also had fond memories of often buying a slice of pizza there:
Then we arrived at the Christmas Market, and sampled the very delicious Reibekuchen:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
