Hi mum,

this week Richy had to travel to Leamington Spa in Great Britain. My friends and I decided to attend Richy.
Leamington Spa is a nice small town near Birmingham.
See me standing in front of the town hall.


This is the Queen Victoria monument in front of the town hall.


This street is called The Parade. It is the main shopping street.


I like this typical red letterbox.


Leamington Spa is situated by the river Lem.


Leamington Spa takes part in "Britain in bloom"-competition. See these beautiful flower arrangements. It is absolutely lovely.






See me in front of the Parish church.


All the very best

Hi mum,

today we visited Stratford upon Avon. It is a little town in the middle of England and famous for its son William Shakespeare!

In this half-timbered house Shakespeare was born in 1564.


As you know Shakespare was a famous writer. And even nowadays his plays are shown in many theaters. The most famous one is the Royal Shakespeare theater. It is the building on the other sider of the river.


Stratford is situated on the river Avon.


There are a lot of small boates, called barges. You can rent them to spend your holidays on the water.


See me standing in front of a little lock.


We enjoyed the park on the river bank and watched the chain ferry.




Then we found this typical little pub and had a Gin and Tonic - lovely!

Dear mums,

The house has a thatched roof and a very nice terrace.


We found this old tractor.




So many firewood - they are prepared for the next winter! Do you spot me?




In the pond we saw some goldfishes and coi carps.


There are still some colorful flowers in the garden.

Dear mums,

today is reunification bankholiday. And as the weather is fine we took a trip to Zollenspieker Fährhaus. It is situated by the river Elbe in the south of Hamburg. It is a meeting point for many bikers. See me in front of the motorbikes.


Fährhaus means ferry house. And so the ferry connect Zollenspiek on the Hamburg side and Hopte on the Lower Saxony side.


In front of this sign we have to wait for the next ferry.


We enjoyed the crossing.

In the background you can see a Biergarten.


Then it was time for coffee and cake. Yummy......

Dear mums,

November was a busy month. But now we are in Cornwall an enjoying the seaside, beaches and cliffs.
We are living in a place called St Ives. Clairchen told me that this is her home town

And even though it is November the weather is great and we are having a lot of sunshine.
This is Porthmeor Beach, one of the five bays of St Ives.




This place behind me is called "The Island".


See me sitting with my friends and looking down from The Island on to Porthmeor Beach.




Then we saw this "coastal watch" house.


I enjoyed the view from the Island.

Looking forward to see the other beaches in the next few days.
All the very best.

Dear mums,

I can't believe. It is november and we have such  a lot of sunshine. We've seen people with short trousers and Flip Flops today 
First we visited Bamaluz beach. It is only a very small one. See me in front of the beach.




Bamaluz is situated near the harbour. There are some big houses overlooking the beach.


Then we went to the harbour. It is really lovely. There is a small beach at the harbour too. And in low tide you can walk between the boats.




See me walking on Smeatons Pier.






At the end of our walk we enjoyed a cup of coffee on the harbour front overlooking the harbour.




All the very best from a sunny Cornwall.

Here I am standing in front of the first and last house.


What a beautiful coastline!

We walked on the coastal path from Lands End to Sennen Cove.
