Daffodils! Spring At Last! Buy Me a Cup of Tea! It’s Spring. At last. Thank goodness! Now I know what you’re thinking. It’s Germany. Winter happens. There’s snow, frost and ice. Nope! I’m sorry to tell you but for the last 20 years, that hasn’t always been the case! I’m a winter baby so snow is my thing! Having said that, it isn’t that we don’t get snow anymore. We do, but nowadays, it’s quite unpredictable with a few days of snowflakes, or no snow at all! And 12 years ago, we had a winter that simply wouldn’t go away. Even I was fed up with, it ‘cos it was Easter! We’ve even had snow in May ..read more

Let’s celebrate 650 or 822 years of Rostock! Buy Me a Cup of Tea! So a fortnight ago, I mentioned that one of my summer trips through Germany was to a city called Rostock. In truth, I have been to Rostock many times, but I haven’t actually been to Rostock! I know. It’s confusing. Let me clarify. Rostock is on the border of Germany to the Nordic Region of Sweden and Denmark, if you want to go by sea. I do. And I did. I had always passed through Rostock while on my way to Sweden and Denmark, but it had never interested me enough for me to actually stop there, except to buy a sandwich, a bottle o ..read more
