[Welshandproud in reply to Welshandproud]

I meant good. No not part of the Hood. I sound a bit gangsta! !!

[harpist_UK in reply to Welshandproud]

I love Berlin! Went there in 1972 under communism, then took a school trip there in 2006 ... a few changes!

[Welshandproud in reply to harpist_UK]

Definitely. I went in 1981 and then again when the wall came down in 1989. I've been going back quite a lot since but not since my diagnosis so it was lovely to be back.

Great shot. I hope to get to Berlin soon. Last time I was there was 1991!

[Welshandproud in reply to GoldenGourd]

Hi Netti you must go back.Things are changing all the time. We hadn't been for a few years and we noticed so many changes. I adore it there. I studied German at Uni and my daughter is doing her finals in German this year so it was a real treat. Good to see that my chemo brain hadn't taken away my German. A huge relief!

[GoldenGourd in reply to Welshandproud]

I studied German at Leicester Uni. Small world. Great to hear your daughter has followed in your footsteps! X

[Welshandproud in reply to GoldenGourd]

What a small world. Yes I've always loved Germany and things German. I am so pleased to be able to share this love with my daughter. She has introduced me to so much new stuff which is never studied in my day.

[harpist_UK in reply to Welshandproud]

Oh, more German at uni people! I studied it at St Andrews many moons ago, and taught it for 30 years....

[Welshandproud]

I was also a German teacher for 20 years. Coincidences eh?

[Katsmum]

What a great photo the chocolate 🍫 looks yummy. My first husband was half German and my son lives and works there so I have had a few visits! Enjoy xx

[Welshandproud in reply to Katsmum]

Yes we were at the RITTER SPORT shop. There were so many flavours and vegan and lactose free options. We then visited the café where they served Ritter Sport cakes. Yum. So where have you been in Germany? Xxxx

[Katsmum in reply to Welshandproud]

Frankfurt, Bonn , Cologne, Hamburg and much of the Rhine Valley but not been to Berlin yet. I have been to Erfurt which was on the East side and home to my late father in law. A place full of contrasts and a beautiful country indeed! Xx

[Cnmart]

Lovely photo, next time you must try Leipzig...it's even more beautiful than Berlin (which I do love ❤️ we lived there from 77-80). 😊🌸 xxxx

[harpist_UK in reply to Cnmart]

Also putting in a word for Dresden!

[Cnmart in reply to harpist_UK]

Yes, absolutely- off for a day trip there on Monday 😊 Xxxx

[Welshandproud in reply to Cnmart]

Now I'm jealous x

[Welshandproud in reply to harpist_UK]

Yes definitely

[GoldenGourd in reply to Cnmart]

Bremen is also a great city. Lived there for a year as part of my degree as a teaching assistant. Fun times.

[Welshandproud in reply to GoldenGourd]

I was not far from Bremen on my year abroad. Mine was 1981 to 1982. When were you there?

[GoldenGourd in reply to Welshandproud]

1984 - 1985. Where were you? I stayed in Vegesack, to the north of Bremen. X

[Welshandproud in reply to GoldenGourd]

Oh I was in the Lueneburger Heide. I had a friend in Bremen and went to stay with her sometimes. It was lovely there x

[Cnmart in reply to Welshandproud]

Love ❤️ the Lüneburger Heide, such a magical place xxx

[Hidden in reply to Cnmart]

Me too - magic campsite there in 2013, while reading Thomas Mann (after a few days in Bremen).

There are several French grads on her too, two of us in the early 70s from the same place and another younger one but I'm not sure if she's on here.

Statistically this all seems a bit improbable, given there aren't many languages grads.

[Welshandproud in reply to Hidden]

That's incredible. I'm sure it's not a risk factor for oc unless there is something nasty in the ink used in dictionaries !! I did French and German too. Small world!!

[Welshandproud in reply to Cnmart]

That's somewhere I'd like to go. I went to Weimar a few yeats ago but didn't make it to Leipzig. Another one on my list x

[Neona]

Wonderful- have a lovely time!

[Nancy222]

You and your daughter look so happy. Great photo.

[Welshandproud]

Thank you. We had just had the most amazing hot chocolate x
