Well, after living here for almost a month, I finally made the first trip to the local supermarket. Up until now we've been living off of food we already had before we moved and from Metro, the wholesaler like Costco & Sam's Club which we have here in Germany. But...
Developments from the weekend
Hubby tends to take over blogging responsibilities during the weekend by hijacking the laptop so we forgot to mention a few things as we randomly posted blogs yesterday. Saturday was a pretty good day for us. We went to IKEA in the morning and finally managed to get...
We love this place
Here are some pictures we took this morning while taking Doggo for a walk. Even though it's raining and its still pretty miserable outside it's a pleasure to be on the farm and in the area around it. It'a little muddy once we get out of town, but you can't beat the...
How did we end up with all this camping gear?!
We were moving stuff around this weekend at the farm, trying to free up some space in our storage rooms for things that we use more often and trying to dig some things out so that we can use them in the house. We decided to move all of our camping gear into a room of...
A hurricane in Europe??
After not being there on Wednesday, we were eager to find out what had been happening at the farm. Hubby decided to take the day off of work to help out a bit which I was quite thankful for since my stress level was getting a bit high.We headed out to the house in the...
Off to the Rheingau
Since New Year's eve is tomorrow, we decided we would go on a mission into the Rheingau wine-growing region and see what we could find to accompany dinner and hopefully pick up some nice bottles of sparkling wine (sekt) as well. We did a bit of research online and...
On our way home
Our trip home this morning actually began before 8 am. We woke at about 6:45 and took care of everything faster than even we had anticipated. We even had time for a short walk with Ayla before piling in the Defender and heading out on our 1000 km trip home. We weren't...
A very long day
As usual, we were up at 6:45 with Ayla. Her internal alarm clock truly is something lol.We planned to be on the road by 8 am since we knew we had about 10 hours of driving ahead of us without any stops and we didn't want to get back home too late since hubby had to be...
A quest for Chianti and olive oil
Our plans today revolved around getting Steffen's van fixed. The repair guy was supposed to show up at 9 am but I guess everything moves a bit slower here and they didn't actually arrive until 11. They took a look at the van and though it was the oil pan which would...
Our last day
As has more or less been the usual routine, Ayla woke us up at about 6:45 this morning. We fed her and then took her for a walk at around 8 and our friends were awake by then also since the auto repair guy was supposed to come at 9 am. Since they have a small market...
