Sunset
Went for a walk in the vineyards on the side of Castellberg, just as the sun was setting in the distance. Hadn’t thought to bring my camera, so we have to make do with these shots from my phone. It was a beautiful sight, and sadly I don’t think the pictures really convey that as […]
Liliental – IV (Wanderer)
Came across this sculpture at a lookout on the trail in the Liliental forest. It seems to fit nicely into its environment.
Up In Smoke
Take a deep breath. On second thought, maybe you had better not. The second-hand smoke is likely to be pretty thick. Canada’s Liberal government has finally kept an election promise, albeit one that should not have been made. Today, possession and use of recreational marijuana becomes legal in Canada. Criminal lawyers are rejoicing. The business […]
Liliental – III
Saturday was a perfect day to enjoy the fall colours.

Liliental – I
Our neighbours suggested a walk in the forest in the Liliental area, about an hour’s drive from Sulzburg. Yesterday was a warm (25C) Autumn day, perfect for such an outing. We weren’t the only ones with that idea. There were hundreds of people on the walking trails, enjoying the fall colours. The change of seasons […]

There has been much change in my life in the past three years – change that would not have happened if that surgery had been unsuccessful. It seems appropriate therefore to post it again, for […]
On The Bus Again
Took the bus yesterday, for the first time since coming back to Germany. It hasn’t changed in the three months since my last trip. When I was in German class, I took the bus every day and wrote most of the posts you read here on the trip. I used to do the same thing […]
Walnutty
If the tree is by the side of the road then the nuts are for anyone who wants them. Or so I have been told. Apparently, local municipalities plant walnut trees because they are low maintenance and people can be counted on to do the harvesting. I guess the grocery stores aren’t that thrilled, but […]
Random Thoughts For Tuesday
I realized last night, as I was watching football online, that it was probably the first time in five years I had not done a thematic blog post for Canadian Thanksgiving. And it isn’t because I am not thankful. After a year in Germany the rhythm of the holidays I am used to has been […]
