Christmas in Berlin - The Christmas markets

The opportunity to spend Christmas in Berlin arose after our daughter started a six month internship there in September. She could have flown home for the holidays, but never ones to miss a chance to travel, it seemed much more sensible for us to join her and get a glimpse of how another country celebrates the holiday season.

Making the Most of the Snow


What better way to celebrate a productive early morning session of writing than to go out and shovel snow?

Okay, there has to be lots of more exciting ways, but after sitting for several hours I’m always ready for some exercise, and this morning offered the perfect opportunity in the form of the approximately twelve inches of snow which had settled over and around my car. I wasn’t planning on going anywhere this weekend, so I could have left it and hoped nature would take care of the problem before I did need to use the car again, but the snow had stopped, the sun was shining and the outdoors beckoned.
