… moechte ich nun gerne.
Oft vernachlaessige ich die Freunde die weiter weg wohnen, und da boete sich so ein Blog doch schoen an (gerade fuer Bilder!), auch wenn ich nicht jede Woche schreibe.

Christmas / Weihnachten

Es war das beste Weihnachten seit langem, nur wir zwei auf  Stobo Castle, einem Wellness-Schlosshotel in den Borders.
Es hielt alles was es versprach und mehr. So ruhig, so schoen, so verwoehnend, so ohne alles was ich an Weihnachten nicht mag.
Wir beide wollen naechstes Jahr wieder hin!

I am really happy for them! Come [...]

Alive!

Oops, I have not been doing too well with this blog! I started well but then stopped blogging until two people recently said to me that they are actually reading my blog and noted that I have not written for a while.
Well, I will take you on board and take up blogging again, honestly!
Thank you!

Caution, nutritional therapist?

This case is currently making headlines: A lady suffered permanent brain damaged after drinking 6 pints of water a day, following the advice of a nutritional therapist, hoping to lose weight.
