Hello mum,

What a beautiful weather! It was windy and cold, but the sun was shining.



The pier of Dahme



Such a beautiful beach



Another pier



Unfortunately you cannot recognize the birds on this photo.  Cormorants – I never saw them before!



We enjoyed the sunshine. 



This was the only lighthouse we found.



Can you see the kites? They belong to kite surfer. Would this be fun? I think it would be very cold, when you fall into the water.



Everywhere at the beach we found sallow thorn. Really beautiful!



Over this beautiful boardwalk we went back home



The wind was really cold. It was time for the fireplace  …



Until soon

Hello mum,

today we took a trip to an island. Do you know this bridge?



First we went to Puttgarden.



We were lucky, because we saw a very big ferry near to us.



Then we drove to the beach.





There was a monument on the beach. It should remember us of the sinking of a ship.



The life is wonderful on the beach in the sunshine… 



We found this great harbor on our way back. Unfortunately there were no ships because it was winter.



What a wonderful day on this beautiful island!

Hello mum,

Today we visited the castlegarden of Eutin.



There was a small pavilion next to the lake.



In the park was this small waterfall. Beautiful, isn’t it?



A small sacrificial altar.



The servants lived in this beautiful house in the past.



Over this Chinese bridge we walked to the next pavilion.





What a beautiful Lady… 



The castle had many beautiful buildings.



But we loved most this funny guy.

Hello mum,

Our second stop was Plön. There is a big lake in Plön.



And a castle of course.



I would love to live in this house. Can we please buy it? 



Oops, it got dark; we had to drive home…



Today it is New Year’s Eve. We wanted to have a party! Murph spent a Killepitzsch.





Wow, yummy! 



What a wonderful evening!



It was time for the fireworks.







Maybe a little late, but I wish you all a happy New Year 

Sean

Hello mum,

Today we took a long walk along a high bank.





We enjoyed the sunshine at the beach 





The high bank is 20 Meter high…



All over the beach there were trees. They slid down from the bank.



Mum, could we spend a holiday here? I love these houses… 



It was another beautiful day at the Baltic Sea.



Until soon

Sean

Hello mum,

It was our last day at the Baltic Sea and the weather was awful  . It rained. My first stop was on the highest mountain from Schleswig-Holstein…





A ski-lift on a mountain with a high of 168 meters?... I never saw something like this before… 



Later we went to the sea again. There were waves today.



A small ice rink… I would have loved to play on the ice, but Bine was afraid that someone would overrun me.



The weather really wasn’t nice.





Mum, you must recognize this tower…. 



Unfortunately our holiday is over now. Tomorrow we have to drive home…

Hello mum,

Today we went into the forest. Murph wanted to show us mushrooms that are growing in the winter. Are there really mushrooms?



Actually there were some – they are called smoky gilled woodlover - and they are eatable!



You know these mushrooms! You often find them in Chinese food. 



This is a typical mushroom that only grows in the winter time – the velvet food.



The forest looked great!



Murph watched out for his famous mushrooms.



Wow, there they were!



Weren’t they beautiful?  They are called scarlet elf cup…





Also in the wintertime the forest is fascinating.



Even a small flower bloomed yet.

Hello mum,

today we visited the Park of the Abbey Lamspringe .





The Lamme starts here.



What a beautiful pond!



This sculpture is so funny.



Unfortunately the water wheel didn’t work in the winter time. 



This is the church of the abbey. Really big!



Criminals got this ring around their neck in the past – and were in the pillory.



What a wonderful park!





Many greetings

Sean

Hello mum,

last week we found this mushroom. A sensation! The morel grew much too early. 



How will it look like today?



A morel in the snow – this is funny. You won’t see this often in your life. 



The winter arrived after all.



Can this be right? 



What do you think?



Snow is really beautiful…





…and wet…



At home we found a cozy hot place, because we had to dry.



Until soon

Sean

Hello mum,

today I took a look at the hometown of Murph. Bad Salzdetfurth is an old miningtown.





And you find memories of this time everywhere.







This is the train station of Bad Salzdetfurth. I have no idea why it is called Kulturbahnhof. 



There are many half-timbered houses in Bad Salzdetfurth.



The Lamme flew through the whole city.



There are 2 big salines in the spa gardens. The people used it to produce salt in the past.





This is the famous place of Murph. It is called Summstein – you sit inside of it and bumble. Then the whole body prickles. Very funny! 



Greetings

Sean

Hello mum,

Today a new guest arrived.



It was Jasper, a moose from Switzerland.



We took a long walk in this forest.



There were great mushrooms in the forest. I already show it to you. Now I wanted to look, if they grew in the last days.



Wow, how beautiful. Did I tell you that I love these mushrooms? 



This lake was frozen.



But we found the spring at a lot of places. The wild arum started to grow.



And the snowdrops were blooming.



A wonderful day in the forest.



Until soon

Sean

Hello mum,

today is a great day – I will move to my next host. 





I had a great time with Murph. Hopefully I will have a short trip.

Until soon

Sean

Hello Mum,

today I arrived in Remscheid at Strunkis home and *Nick* and störte gave me a warm welcome.



I showed what I brought, the nice postcard of Bad Salzdetfurth and some yummy gumbears from HoBi



*Nick*  and me became friends, while störte studied the postcard

and I had a nice conversation with him


Then I talked with störte, we became friends and *Nick* studied the postcard




We all have a nice evening and will have a great time together


That´s it for today,
love and see You soon

Hello Mum,

You never guess where I have been today: we visited a nice little town called Weert (Limburg) in the near of Roermond, in the South of the Netherlands



Everywhere You see the typical brick buildings, almost in red, sometimes overpainted with white paint


Here we are at the market and because it is Saturday, the grocery market with lots of different booths are there




This friendly guy with his bell stands in front of the Church of St. Martin (Martinuskerk), with its huge belfried dominating the skyline of weert


Here is the entrance



And here is a short view into the church, we didn´t want to tisturb anybody here and respected that they don´t like taking pictures inside the church


Weert has a very attractive pedestrian zone and we found a lot of nice and funny things, even for us tv´s




Look at this huge air-giraffe


Another reasons I like being here are the drinks and the food

the coffee with milk here is called "koffie verkeert"

And the region is famous for its Bitterbollen



On our way back we made a short stop at the nice looking Aurorawindmill



That was it for today, love and see You soon
