Autumn impressions...

Dear mum,
today in the early morning something strange has happened:
we were still sleeping when suddenly we were woken up by a loud voice: "Where is the birthday boy?"
Sitting up I saw a big goblin sitting on a purple horse and having a burning crown is his hands
First I thought I had taken leave of my senses but my friends  could see the goblin as well. "Where is the birthday boy?" he repeated.
"It's me!" Mefito said. The goblin wanted him to step forward, presented the crown him, congratulated him and disappeared. Wow!
We all couldn't believe it but we could see the crown so it was true.
We told Mefito to put on the crown, then we sang a birthday song for him, hugged him and gave him yummy gummi bears as a present 
We sat around the crown discussing the event until hostmum and hostdad came for congratulating Mefito.
Then we started to Paderborn city by bus for having a vegan birthday breakfast in a nice café 
On the way back we visited the cathedral again and a miniature of the city.
That's it for now, in the evening we'll drive to a restaurant for having a farewell dinner cause today it isn't only Mefito's birthday but also the last day of The WotWots in Paderborn. Tomorrow they'll start to Essex and hostmum says they shall have a great goodbye 
Love you
yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
in the evening we drove to the city again for having a nice birthday-and-farewell-dinner in an Indian restaurant 
Back home our party began...and ended in the early morning...
very great party 
Yours OleOrangescarf

Time to say goodbye again 
Today noon The WotWots packed their things into small envelopes, then we all hugged them and they crawled into a big envelope.
Goodbye Dotty and Spotty you great friends!!!
Have a good journey. Perhaps we'll see again anytime anywhere...
Love you
yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
today afternoon we drove to hostgrandma for wishing her a happy birthday.
Because she's such an enthusiastic pilgrim (you remember?) hostgranddad gave her a sculpture of St. Jacob as a present, built up by a potter.
On teatime we had yummy cake ('Christstollen', a very good cake you eat at Advent and at Christmas) 
And in the evening we had another birthday invitation to friends of hostmum and hostdad. First we had raclette and then we explored the flat and discovered a lot: a nice donkey-pig or something like that, a very kind spider, a caterpillar which never has had enough to eat, a vending machine with chocolat in it  , a board full of plastic animals (even polar bears  ) and at last a cupboard full of stoffies  But guess what, nobody wanted to become a ToyVoyager!!! I think they don't know what they're missing...
Many hugs
yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
today is a very sad day 
Hostmum's old dog lady Trixi had to be put down in the morning.
The pictures show her (the black one with the white face) and Sally (who died 17-years-old in January) in Friedrichskoog in 2012 together with some TV-friends.
Love you
yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
have a nice first Sunday in Advent!
Yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
today we visited two Christmas fairs in Altenbeken.
Of course we started with a cup of coffee and a yummy cake 
And then we explored the different stands...many nice wooden things...at last hostmum bought two wooden owls (she didn't want to seperate this owl couple...)
Yours Ole Orangescarf

Dear mummy,
today an envelope has arrived. Cause we were all waiting for SunnyHH and Soeren we were surprised cause the envelope was very small. We lifted the envelope up and concluded that it was too light for comprising an elk...
Then suddenly two little white ears came to light and a nice rabbit crawled out of the envelope and explained that Soeren really wanted to visit you and his old friends. So he turned off to Remscheid.
But we'll meet on December 14th in Dortmund and then he'll come back home SunnyHH explained.
Than we all hugged SunnyHH and we sat together eating yummy chocolate he's brought with him and talking about TV-life...
Love you
Yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
yesterday evening hostmum said we could put up a boot in front of the flat door for St. Nicholas. Perhaps he would fill the boot in the night on his way round the world. So we did. Of course we all wanted to see St. Nicholas so we sat behind the door staring through a door gap. "No", hostmum said, "you've got to go to bed and sleep. St. Nicholas won't come to somebody sitting behind the door." So we did. We tried to stay awake but no chance...
In the early morning we raced to the door and the boot has been filled 
Yours OleOrangescarf

And in the evening we visited a friend of hostmum for having a comfortable St. Nicholas evening.
First we had a yummy dinner. Suddenly we heard somebody playing the harp. It was a friendly owl. Of course we asked the owl to become a ToyVoyager but unfortunately his mum didn't allow...
Then we explored the flat that was a gold mine for ToyVoyagers as you can see 
Yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mum,
today evening  we drove to Detmold for visiting the Christmas fair in the open-air museum. In the big area there're many old houses and two windmills you can visit for getting an idea of bygone times.
Today the old houses and mills were illuminated, it looked fantastic!
For finding the path in the dark there were torches at the wayside.
There were many stands with nice things to buy and in the old houses you could buy things, too.
Of course we bought some yummy hot punch 
And look what hostmum bought for us: a wooden sledge 
Now we're just waiting for some snow...
Yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
today we drove to Soest by train for visiting the Christmas fair.
So many lights...it looked great!
Yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
today we drove to Dortmund by train for meeting you and olgamaus! It was so great to see you again, mummy!
After visiting the a big St. Nicholas, a big Christmas pyramide and the very big Christmas tree we went into a café together with all the other ToyVoyagers. It was great to sit there with GustavHH, Charlotte, Hase, HelmutBluepant, Kirin, Soeren, DottyCroc, Dutchy the Lion, Mefito, Josie, UrselHH, Frederik, SunnyHH, Störte, Sargent Froggo and *Nick*. Nice to be together with my brother and sister! And nice to meet Soeren! Another life mission was completed!
When it became darker we visited the Christmas fair. The lights and candles and the big illuminated Christmas tree looked so fantastic!
Leaving you was not so hard cause I went back to Paderborn together with Soeren and my best friend Mefito. And thank you for your sweet presents for Mefito and me
See you and love you
yours OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
today Soeren told us that he was invited by Murph on yesterday and he'll leave us only two days after meeting 
But I'm sure we'll meet again...have a good journey!
Love you, mum,
yours OleOrangescarf
