Paderborn, Germany - 6th June 2012
By: mcdaniels
Dear Mummy!
After a long long journey I arrived Paderborn in Germany!
Sitting in my envelope I heard many voices out of it and became very curious...When I crawled out of it I saw a lot of friendly faces. After my long and lonely trip I was very happy to see all of them. I showed them my postcard and my journey book and said hallo and they all welcomed me, especially Nick the bear (very nice!) and three other Toyvoyagers: Hermann, Walt Duck and Störte. I think we will have a nice time together
Then I introduced myself to the three budgies and the old dogs Sally and Trixi. Imagine, Mum, I wasn't afraid of the old ladies at all, though in my eyes they were very tall...
Now I'm looking forward to my adventures in Germany!
Best wishes, yours Konsta

Dear Mummy,
yesterday evening hostmum and hostdad went to Paderborn city visiting Herbert Knebel, a German comedian. I was allowed to come with them, because I'm smaller than the other TVs
We went to the "Paderhalle" together with lots and lots of people who all wanted to see Herbert. He and three other men were very funny and they made music...wow!
All the best, yours Konsta

Dear Mummy,
today we had a farewell day, because it was Hermann[tv]s last day in Paderborn.
First we went for a walk round hostmum's homevillage Neuenbeken together with the old dogs. Cause 16-year-old Sally has to be pushed uphills, we took a bike with us. For me everything was new: the flowers, real German cows, the old tree and a tree cave...and at last we made rest on a nice bench.
In the afternoon we had a farewell football match: Hermann and Störte against Walt Duck[tv] and me. We had a lot of fun!
All the best, yours Konsta

Hi Mum!
Today we said goodbye to Hermann who travels home for watching the EM together with his Mum and brother.
In the afternoon we visited a friend of hostmum who has got a very nice garden. Störte, Walt Duck and me played the whole afternoon: we entered a pirate ship and put to sea with it, we fished, swinged, got to know an old woodworm, drove a tractor and visited an outdoor stage play made by an 7-year-old boy.
And imagine, Mummy, there was a gigantic dog and I wasn't afraid at all!!!
Yours devil of a fellow Konsta

Dear Mummy, today evening we'll visit some friends of hostmum for watching the first German EM football match. Unfortunately Finland didn't qualify for the EM, so being in Germany I'll shout for Germany this time...

Dear Mum,
last Wednesday evening I escorted hostmum and hostdad to a choir rehearsal. I assisted the choir with my alto and it sounded pretty good
After the rehearsal we were in a hurry, because we had to drive to friends of hostmum and hostdad for watching the next football match: Germany-Netherlands.
It was very exciting again and we all shouted again and I asked me how it will be if Germany reaches the final...
And imagine, we had dessert in the colours of the German flag! I think at the moment here in Germany many people are very creative and out of their mind at the same time...
All the best, yours Konsta

Hi Mummy!
Yesterday Walt Duck and me went to an Indian restaurant. Wow! Very yummy, especially the "Mango Lassi"!!!
Today evening I'll escort hostmum and hostdad to a concert. Super, I thought when hostmum told me, I'll fulfill one of my life missions! But she said it is a classical concert, Mozart, and you can't call the orchestra a band. I hope it won't be boring...
All the best, yours Konsta

Dear Mum,
the concert wasn't boring at all! Hostmum told me we all had to dress ourselves in a chic way, so I took a bow tie and we were ready!
The band, sorry, the orchestra was great, especially the kettledrum.
And today Walt Duck, Störte and me went to the birthday party of hostdad's father. Very yummy cake
Best wishes, yours Konsta

Dear Mummy,
yesterday hostmum asked Nick and me to help her preparing some paper-handicrafts she needs at work. Hostmum works in an old-people's-home and decorates it's windows with pictures made by the old people.
So Nick and me started to work: for preparing the pictures I stood on a stencil while Nick drew around it. Cause the old people shall make poppy-flowers we needed red and green.
When we were ready I escorted hostmum to work by bike. At work I gave some good advice to the old people refering to cutting out the pictures and so the pictures turned out fantastically
At hostmum's office I got to know Mr. Adviser who showed me how to operate the computer, and look what I've written for you!
And then we drove back home to Neuenbeken, hostmum's homevillage that belongs to Paderborn.
Hope you're fine, Mummy, yours Konsta

Dear Mummy,
yesterday hostdad moved into hostmum's flat. It was a lot of work for all of us. First Walt Duck, Störte and me drove to a firm which hires pickup trucks and then the move began: all of hostdad's things down the stairs (a lot of stairs!), into the truck, from Bad Lippspringe to Neuenbeken and up the stairs to hostmum's flat. Hostmum and hostdad were very happy to have such industrious helpers: Störte, Walt Duck and me pushed lots of boxes and assembled a wardrobe!
And imagine, Mum, hostdad has got a magic chest! We were so curious about the contents, but we weren't allowed to look in it, but hostdad promised us to make a performance specially for us next time
When the move was over all the stuffed animals welcomed hostdad in his new home: Welcome home with love, hostdad!
Best wishes, yours Konsta

Hello Mummy,
yesterday I helped hostmum and her friend making jam. First we had to pick the fruits: redcurrants, blackcurrants and gooseberries. Then the berries had to be cranked through a very old mincer hostmum had inherited from her grandma. Hostmum and her friend were very happy to be helped by such a strong bear, because cranking is strenuous!
After that the mashed fruits were cooked together with sugar, something for jelling and, imagine, rum and wine!
Hostmum and me washed out the jars with hot water, then the jam was filled in, the jars were closed and turned round.
Ready! And yummy!!!
