Travelog for: Soeren

After a short talk we decided to have a small first Yoga lesson (hihi, they call me a master because of my yoga-CD´s an my yoga mat

And, inspired by lotte, I have now a new exercise: Standing on horn/head/ears

Hi Mum,

my first night I slept very well and today we stayed inside the house because it was too snowy, cold and windy outside.

We decides to make salads and I choosed to make a white cucumber salad with selfmade yoghurt-dressing.

Fabler Björn made a tasty tomato-mozarella salad and even "princess Charlotte" helped us and did the dangerous job of cutting onions into small cubes. The poor girl had to wear protecting-glasses while she cut, hihi

Here You can see how I made the salad and after finishing we ate alltogether, yum yum

Hi Mum,

today I went with strunki to the office where she works. She promised me to meet somebody who´s eyes are similar hypnotic as mine

In her office I met Bong, a snake that lives around her computer-screen and we had a deep look into the others eyes.

And I can tell You: we hypnotised each other

In the evening, whe we came back home, we had strunkis complete gang of plushies here, because they wanted to have fun in the washing machine.
In the Washing machine, can You imagine That??

I heard that the first time and was afraid a little bit but they insured me, that it would be fun for them, because fast spinning is like having fun on the funfair carousel

The idea was too spooky for Fabler Björn and me but we gave them our support and stood by them all the time, watching their spinning and heard their laughter inside.

During their drying on the stone-plate above the radiator I made new friends between the other mooses and we talked to them the whole night because they were happy to meet us and we narrated them about our live as a tv.

We had wonderful conversations with nice and funny plushy-people. What a colourful crew

Hi Mummy,

the weekend is near and mostly on friday strunki does the cooking for the next two days.

But today we decided to cook. So we went to the market and came back with Lottes basket full of vegetables, because we wanted to eat a special kind of Spaghetti Bolognese, the so called "Bolo Bergisch"

And here You can see us, what veggies we bought and how we cooked them.

And when we finished cooking, we had a lot of fun with the noodles and it was so yumyum, hihi, we ate too much

See You soon and have a nice day
Big hug for all at home - I love You

Yours Soeren

Hi Mum,

today I met a very special friend: Peños, the lovely dog of strunkis best old class mate.

And what for an adventure, he almost allowed us to ride on him

He looks so dangerous with his black hair and his eyes look spooky yellow on te pictures, but he´s so cute and more than friendly

Hi Mum,

today we went to a Park with indigenous wild animals in Düsseldorf and we learned a lot about the forest and their habitats.

We watched wild pigs, fallow deer and moufflons, saw a rascal und wild cats. The huge red deer we only saw on the sign, perhaps they are on holiday? And unfortunately we did not meet a moose or an elk, what a pity

But can You imagine, mum, I went to school, a very special school about the forest. There was a box where you only can feel, what is inside...very amazing when You only feel

Hi Mum,

today the sun was shining and it was warm enough to do some Yoga in the garden, when something beautiful happend: Matcha, the lovely little yellow frog from Japan arrived after his long journey and we all are happy, that he is well and joins our crew now.

Lotte heard the Postman and found him in his envelope on the garden table.

For his arrival we gave him a warm welcome, drank tea togehter and had some sushies and cakes.

I was very pleased, when he gave me a present, a very tasty bar of chocolat, that is very popular in Japan.

And during the nice talk we  found out, that he also likes to do Yoga
But of course he was still a little bit tired from his long journey for about almost two weeks. And so we all brought hin to bed and cared, that he can recreate.

Will write more in a few days, see You and love You
Yours Soeren

Hello Mummy,

today we went with our crew to a place of Wuppertal called the South-Hills, from where you have a full view of the eastern part of  the valley, Barmen. Unfortunatuly the weather-conditions were not as good as it should be, some of the pictures are a little dark and cloudy. But strunki told us, that this is the typical weather here in the Bergisch-Land. We had about 10°C and it did not rain.

In Wuppertal live almost 350.00 Citizens on almost 170.000 Km² and it is the Maintown of the Bergisch Land. The Main townparts are Barmen and Elberfeld and they fusioned togehter with Ronsdorf, Vohwinkel and Cronenberg in the early 30ths of the last century. They started textile-industrialism in the late 19th century and in the Town funded a lot of firms and factories expanded. But on the other hand you only need 5 Minutes to be in the forest or in some parks. It is a very green town.

After looking over Wuppertal, we went on to Ronsdorf where we bought some red and orange sweet bell pepper and some meat on the market.

In Ronsdorf we visited a little park inside the smalltown and played a little bit in the playground there. I did fun-yoga with Matcha

On our way home to Remscheid finally we stopped by an old villa, a house as the best example of an typical style of so called "Bergischer Barock" with lots of ornaments, an impressive Main Door and green window shutters.

And in the evening we started cooking

Today we plushies did the cooking again and it was a great adventure:
We filled the sweet bell pepper with the meat we bougth on the market.

Matcha suprises us how excellent he cut the onions japanese style. Banzai!

Charlotte fought brave with the mixer, it was a huge one and we all supported her during her figth

And we had a lot of fun doing this together and the results are very yumyum

Hi Mum

today we made a cream cheesecake with blueberries when we noticed, that HelmutBluepant would come back home this weekend.

First we wet the gelatine and seperated the blueberry-juice for heating them together. The blueberries we gave on a baked pastry case. After mixing the juice with the gelatine we mixed the cream cheese, we poured it on the blueberries and decorated with some fresh ones.

But it took some time and so Matcha decided to cook a fast noodle-soup japanese style, and he did it in a very delicious way.

I look very foreward to meet Helmut here and to make a friendship with him.

There You can see us all when we track Helmuts way home.

Hi Mum,

today we made a trip to Wuppertal for riding on the Schwebebahn (suspension railway). It is more than 110 years old, but don´t worry, they rebuilt and modernised a lot since about 10 Years

In the evening we had a great hello: HelmutBluepant came back home and we all were very happy that he came in good condition.

For this nice event we celebrated a little barbecue

Dear Mum,

Today we had to say goodbye to Fabler Björn.

We were sad a little bit that Fabler had to leave, but we know, the he enjoyed the time with us and that he loves to come home now.

Wish You a good journey back home.

Hi Mum,

this evening we had a lot of fun playing skittle.

And can you imagine, I also played and I was quite not as bad as strunki

At the end of the evening I was the skittle-king
