After my initial post on my fraught annual return to ‘The Village’ where I grew up (click here to read it), I thought I’d put up some more photos.
Biburg (that’s what it’s called), though not ugly, doesn’t quite make the ‘stunningly picturesque’ category, and I tried hard to avoid snapping the insipidly mundane. I may have failed…. 😉
The maypole again…
The local kindergarten has its own version 😉
Some pretty-ish cottages/farm houses:
There had to be a picture of a tractor…
The local organic food shop
My old schoolfriend’s mum’s very impressive balcony!
I’m back home in Spain now, and I’ve got lots of much better pictures from my visit to Bavaria still coming up, so do not despair… 😉

I love the Kindergarten version of the maypole!

It’s a cute mini-maypole as well, about half the height of the standard ones.

Actually, this time it was really great. The last two times, not so much. Family dynamics… what can I say 😉

I realised yesterday that my family is actually very normal in comparison to some 😉

Thanks! It was very restorative. I could have done with three or four more days…

Vacations are often over too early and I think it’s cooler in Bavaria too!

Well, I have to admit… with the annual family visit, I’m often desperate to get back home after ten days, but not this time…

I’m so jealous. Much more charming that the city I grew up in.

Glad to hear you had a good time… and that no family members were (seriously) harmed during your trip!

…only my poor brother, who drove me to the airport half asleep after his night shift 😉

Just remembered why I’m visiting- I get distracted sometimes! Cathy (Catbird in Europe) said you lived in Toledo and I came looking for photographic evidence. I’m no cook so you’d have to take pity on me and feed me. 🙂

Hi there! I do live in Toledo. Where are you…?
Can’t cook either, but I sure can eat 😉

I love these crossover conversations! In the north east of England but I have a home in Tavira in the Algarve. Cathy was there with me recently.

Durham – I just saw on your blog. Man, you have a beautiful cathedral and the view as the train pulls into Durham station must be the most stunning in the UK, if not ANYWHERE!
I’ve never been to Portugal, would you believe, but it’s on the list 😉

You’re of German origin, I believe? My Dad’s Polish. We’re a multi cultural lot, aren’t we?
We sometimes go for jaunts across the border when we’re in the Algarve. We’ve been to Granada, Cordoba and Seville, but Toledo’s a little too northerly to be easy.

Yes, I am, though my Dad was born in Silesia 😉
Toledo is very easy to get to from Madrid.
