Pete's thinks

 

27 March, 2011

Local elections here. 3 in 1.
Yes or No to the new "borrowing stop" law in the state of Hessen.
New Mayor. (I hope so!)
And 71 (! I kid you not) votes to give to the candidates for the town council. I asked for an extra piece of paper so that I could keep track of how many votes I had cast.

 

23 March, 2011

Had just fallen asleep when the mobile started ringing. I thought it was the alarm clock and couldn't understand why it was talking to me with a scottish accent. I was on-call and things were going wrong at the Bat Cave. Had it sorted by 03:00. Heldentat!

 
 

Welcome to the secret site!

 

This is the hidden site accessed from pupenhausen.de. My 'train set' site. I have put it here so that people in the know can have a look at what I am up to via the internet.

I shall be putting photos and, maybe, stories from my travels and travails here.

This is where, - when some one says to me- , "Oh, I'd love to see those photos!" -or- "Go on, tell us about the bollard in Croatia", you will be able to find such 'things'.

or, of course, you could just go back to Pupenhausen, the thrilling story of a train set.

     

March trip: Switzerland

 

Schloss Tarasp. Lower Engadine. That was the plan. Go and see the old Castle still belonging to the Landgrafen from Hesse. Deep in Alps in the swiss Inn valley. Only:

  1. It was the middle of March, not August
  2. It was probably the last weekend of the ski season
  3. There were still many alpine passes closed

Last trip: Zaandvoort

 

M's daughter and friend wanted to spend a weekend away with us. A kind of a family get-together now that we were going to become grandparents. So what better place to do this then Holland! Zandvoort to be precise.

It was good fun. Beautiful sunshine even if the wind was a little chilly.
