Being in Meschede brings back many memories – childhood memories, youth memories…. coming home late from a lovely evening with Frauke and watching TV with my brother in the middle of the night, is something I have not done forever…. normal, nice and peaceful!

„I have been to church once – it is really boring“ is my son’s way to prepare his cousin for what is ahead of them today. I am not a church person either, but my godchild Finn’s communion day is super emotional for me! He is nine now and I have to cry a few …

Ready, steady, go…. after breakfast, I decorate the table for Mia’s birthday, draw on our chalkboard wall, shower and off we go! The train literally departs 2 minutes after we board 😉 I am well impressed with Deutsche Bahn – not only do the kids get toys, no, there is kids animation onboard…. whoohooo! What …
