Dachau is a beautiful Bavarian town with cobbled streets and pretty houses. It’s only a 15 minute drive from my village along scenic country roads, and last Saturday afternoon, bro took me and our mum there for a little outing. I hadn’t been to Dachau in absolutely ages!
I love that window for being so typically Bavarian in a town that’s not particularly touristy. But the comma in that notice (“Free beer tomorrow”), which totally shouldn’t be there, irks me! I am a stickler…
“Beware of the CONSCIENTIOUS dog”.
The fair was in town 🙂
Now, the real reason for the Dachau trip was to get stuck into some good cake… more on that in the next post 🙂

It’s just that where I live people don’t really have gardens, and hence, no gates to affix those signs to… but I shall pay closer attention from now on

In the Northern Ireland countryside the signs say “Caution: dogs running free”. At least that’s what the sign on a tree on my brother’s property says, and I like it. Happy, healthy, free-running dogs. But maybe we need to get a new sign “beware of the donkeys”.
LikeLike
That would terrify me. The dogs, not the donkeys. Dogs can be pretty territorial, and I’ve been bitten more than once. Don’t get me wrong, I like dogs, but I need them either to be very good natured or adequately controlled.
LikeLike
These particular dogs are very good natured – and I must blog photos of them one day.
The main purpose of the sign is actually to warn cars driving into the farmyard to slow down – we don’t want them crashing into the dogs.

Of course not! Can’t wait to meet them 🙂

Oh, heavens, you’d NEVER get me up that ride! I love the thought of a ‘conscientious’ dog. Does this mean he thinks seriously about biting you before he does? And I have apostrophobia too. Drives me bonker’s [sic]
…now where did you say the cake was?

Don’t get me started on apostrophes… you see English apostrophes creeping into German, where they are plainly wrong, just because they are deemed ‘fashionable’. I can’t stand it…!

Honestly, I look at your photos and I’m kind of envious. You have a terrific eye for catching some little scene, some detail, or something interesting. And I love the idea of a “pflichtebewußter hund.” Is he so conscientious that he doesn’t bite? Or does it go the other way? LOL
