Uchte, Germany - 10th August 2013

By: -[Dino]-

Today we went on a little walk around Uchte - or more precisely the neighbourhood around the retirement home and the industrial area and showed Oink around a little.

But first we had to send 2 postcards and then we posed on the mailbox.

On one of the meadows behind the retirement home we saw some goats. Two came running to have their pisture taken with us. ;)

Around the corner we saw a huge blackberry bush.

After some more steps we saw a big construction site:

Here the buildings belonging to the agricultural cooperative society and the freight depot had been pulled down after a big part of them were burnt in a fire earlier this year.

Here we are posing in the construction site fence in front of a big pile of rubble:

A little way down the street we posed on a street blockade in front of one of the many corn fields.

Can you spot us on the barrier?

Also we have all been wondering what the street signs are supposed to mean. "Please only crash here" maybe? ;)

At the end of the street we saw a field full a solar panels.

What a strange crop! ;)

On our way back home we found this lovely pear tree hanging very full with fruits *yummy*, but without a partridge in it though. ;)

Where one of the little streets is today there were many little garden plots. The street was built when Mummy was little so she remembers all the nice little gardens and she was very sad when they were all removed in order to build the street. Luckily a few of the gardens still exist today.

This one has a nice vegetable selection. Here you can see big cabbage plants:

And here are more different plants:

And we just had to pose in front of these beautiful sunflowers:

It was a nice little walk with lovely weather! :)
