August over and a happy 82nd birthday to my old mum...


Up early and out to pick up the car...


Underway just after nine and stopped in Simmern (the home of the famous - mostly in Germany - German TV series, “Heimat”) for a tasty breakfast at Café Jung...


...followed by a wander around the town...




Then, back to the car and the journey continued...

Our lunch stop was in Bad Homberg where, once a again, a wander about was enjoyed...








...as was some typical German “fast food” for lunch...


Back onto the autobahn...


...where we encountered rather too many traffic jams for our liking, only one of which seemed to have a good reason...

Due to our two stops and these traffic delays, we didn’t arrive at chums Jorg and Yvonne’s until after five in the afternoon...

Neither Jorg (taking handball training) nor Yvonne (running Zumba classes) was at home, so we were entertained by their three kids, Xenia...


Ansem (our Godson)...


and Teja...


...eventually being taken over to the school sports facilities, where we found Jorg taking handball training...



and where Ansem and Teja were to undertake some 800 meter training...



Leaving the boys to their running practise, we walked back to the house, while Jorg drove his latest banger to the same destination...


...and, after some chat and catching up, Anne and I took Alan and Penny to their hotel in Kassel and returned to Felsberg to listen to some sounds via Jorg’s laptop...



..and catch up into the night with Mr Sunshine and Yvonne...

Highlight of the Day : Back at Jorg and Yvonne’s...
