hi, dearest mom!!!!!!

today we had a trip downtown and visited the ancient traditionel pottery of our masters, RIP, from about 50 - 60 years ago. now the son of one of the old masters is busy there!!!

and just in the neighborhood is the potters house, where we had a glance, too!!! and yeaaaah.. they had again the beautiful hens in the bassin, created by miss nastaran khosrawi!!!!!!!!!!!

miss you, mom, kiss you, mom!!!!!!!

dearest mom,
today ipue-hostmom had an old couple to show them around in her 2nd hometown!! and we took a taxi to be comfortable!! so I had a great day, too, coz tabriz is quite new for me... she took only me and poschti with her!!!!!!!!!!!
I got so happy about!!



first we went to one of the oldest points on the ancient tabriz map, to see the 1.000 years old sabolamr mosque!! nowadays used as the museum of holy qor'an. and from there we went to the constitution house from qajar era, where ppl around the ancient heroes sattarkhan & bagherkhan were planning a revolution around 1905... in the yard they both have a huge sculpture!!! - at gonga bashi there is a monument of the ancient gonga, an early tram with horses!



later we had a walk in the pedestrian zone tarbiat st. there are nice sculptures of ancient professions, here you can see the hairdresser!!
then we had a break in hamame nobar, an ancient public bath which is used nowadays as a coffee house and restaurant!  and nearby there is the former mansour crossroad, completely changed because of the metro station to be.. and so they made in front of the silkroad-tower a beautimul large mosaic like a carpet!!!!

hi, dear mom, a very special regard for you: FROHE PFINGSTEN!!!!!!
the special flowers, in germany called *pentecost-roses* (pfingstrosen)  finished before the holidays by a heavy rain, storm and hail.. but the *schokoladenmaikaefer* arrived just in time!!! heheheheeeee.... *thumbup*

kiss you, mom!!!!!!!!!

good morning, best mom of the world!!!!!!!!!!!


my very best congratulations for your birthday!!!!
I'm really unhappy that I'm not with you at your
special day - and I wish you healthy & wealthy &
everything what do you like yourself best!!!!!!!!!!!


your little daughter VIOLA
who's bringing some flowers for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the day before I climbed into a rose shrub to bring
roses for you, but as I'm too tiny I couldn't reach them..

hello, my dear mom!!!!

today we had a shower!!! for me it wasn't really a need - I'm a girl, you know!!!  but cute poschti was really dirty since long time ago........!!! for me it was by accident!! I had a photo-session with the one and only white iris from ipue's garden, which was broken and in the vase on the table, and suddenly I slipped into the vase and got completely wet, and that was why I had the shower together with my buddy!!!! hehe....

I miss you really and hopefully see you soon!!!

hey mom!!!!!

as ipue-host-mom is fond of flowers today we had a glance into her flowers in the yard!!! the white and the purple iris are flowering and also the pink paeonia; the wine-red one we had lately, do you remember??

hey, dearest mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ipue-host-mom told me, her favorite colour is purple, too, and that's why she had chosen MEEEEEEEEEE to host and she's very thankful, that you allowed me to come to IR!!!!! I got very proud when I heard this!!

further she told me, that's the reason she made all her efforts to fullfill one of my life-missions - and what will be greater than to celebrate a *purple day* for me!!!???!!!??! and so she'll do TODAY!!!! I'm soooooo curious, believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it will also be my last day in IR and so she will invite my TV-buddies to have a good-bye-party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boooooooooooaaaah, how lucky I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, dear friends & followers & of course, YOU, dear mom, pls stay tuned to be with us in my happiest moments in IR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

see you soon, kiss you all!!!!!!!

helloooo, dear mom!!!!!!!!!!!! what a busy day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in the morning we went out for breakfast in shahgoli. the park is situated very close to ipue's home!!! we had a picnic in front of the bassin with the ancient pavillon together with ipue's friends!

it was sooooo great! even not such a crowd as they told us, normally is very common there...... it was announced the weather will be quite bad, and so most ppl prefered to stay at home, although it's FRI today, the day ppl are free in moslemic countries.

later we had a nice lunch at home and in the afternoon ipue's son1 and his family went back home, and ipue picked me up for the international trade fair, there was the last day of an exhibition of flowers & plants!!!!!
very interesting!!! but in the meantime the weather changed into the announced sandstorm and it was a bit strange there on the hill outside of tabriz!!!

btw we bought a great plant for ipue's yard - I'll show it to you later!! it was a hard job, to bring it home...... pls stay tuned!!!!!!!

hello, dearest mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

todayyyy is my great day when I will be the happiest purple girl in the world!!!!!!!!!! coz ipue-hostmom decided to fullfill one of my life-missions and with all her efforts she prepared for me *THE PURPLE DAY*!!!!!!

believe it, it started in the early morning when I'd clean my nose - with a PURPLE KLEENEX!!!!!!!!!!!!! later when I had my porridge in a PURPLE BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we found several PURPLE FLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after this when we were speaking about our hobbies, I had a PURPLE POSTCARD sign of ipue's hobby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and besides I was crotchetting a PURPLE SHAWL as this is my hobby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and finally when I got tired I went to sleep in my PURPLE BED-LINEN!!!!!

thank you so much, dear ipuenktchen, that I reached another life-mission!!!!

hi, mom,
today we had the 2nd part of our sightseeing-tour with the elderly couple and it was my last opportunity to see more from tabriz!!!! first we went to the potters house, a bautiful house of qajar era from about 200 years ago with beautiful coloured windows, where i had been a few days ago, but today we went to see the permanent pottery exhibition in the upper floor!!

it was so great!!!!!! and even, mom, believe it, there had been two work-pieces of dear ipue from years ago, as she is also a member of the azerbaijan pottery friends association!! here you will see a pic of a  bowl decorated with lily-of-the-valley-flowers, made by ipue!! and the tiles with a bird from safavi-era are made by miss nastaran khosrawi, the same great potter who made the hens in the bassin from last time we went there - do you remember????

from there we went to the post-office, no pics, and later to khaghani garden, .....  and finally to the blue mosque, outside and inside!!!!!

miss you, kiss you, dear mom!!! I'm so excited to see you very soon!!

helloooooooooooo, dearest mummy!!!!!

it's soooooooooo sad... I hate to say good-bye!!!! and todayyyyy we had a good-bye-party, coz me and my cute TV-buddy POSCHTI had to leave...................... well, the party was nice, and I'm really thankful that ipue made such a nice party for us!!! we had even life-music, the playmo-clown cheered us up, and the yummy cake NAPOLEON from ipue's favorite confectionery..... but finally we had to say good-bye..........

Today I arrived at home.

But I'm very busy so I said "Goodbye" again  .

I get an invitation to the UK! Yeah! I'm so excited!

Hello!

I have arrived in the UK!!!



I said a quick hello to Cooper, who is a stay-at-home TV.



However, I've found out that I won't be staying here for very long! On Monday, I will begin a journey to Finland for Nummirock Festival, so I am ready for travelling again

Wow, what an adventure I have just had! I went all the way to Finland for Nummirock, it was awesome!

We travelled down to Gatwick Airport on June 15 by train.





As the flight wasn't until June 16, we stayed in a small hotel just outside of the airport in a town called Horley. It wasn't the greatest of places but it was alright to sleep in.





As the flight was very early in the morning (check in was at 7) we had to get up at 5am, so I had to drink some tea!



Then there was just enough time to admire the view out the window and then it was off to the airport!



Stay tuned for more stories of my travels!
