Today we had to say Goodbye to Dieuwerke. She is going to England soon and we all said Goodbye. She was a really nice Toyvoyager, even if we didn't spend much time together.
Byebye Dieuwerke. Hope to see you soon again !

Today is the 3rd advent. We sat again in front of the advent wreath and watched the candles burning. What a nice view.

Today we went into the city again and just visited two placed. BlackCat had to go to the bank, so we went with her.
First we saw the carillon in Essen. It was built in 1928 on the Limbecker street. 1940 the bells were hidden because of the second world war. They didn't want them to be melt down for weapons. The original place of the carillon was destroyed in 1943. 1949 the carillon was built again at the Kettwiger street where the new building of the company which made the bells was. It is still located there and in the shop under it you can get a little information about the carillon. It's just in German, so we have no one for you, sorry.
Next to the bank there was a christmas bear. We sat on his shoulder and told him our deepest wishes. Maybe we will get one present of him. I really hope as christmas will be soon.

Today it's the fourth advent. We decorated the christmas tree with BlackCat and it was a lot of fun. So now we took a photo of us with the advent wreath and the christmas tree in the background.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!!!
The woman in TV was still talking while the countdown was already over and the firework behind her was starting. We watched the firework in TV, as outside it was too cold for us. We stayed inside while BlackCat and her family made some firework outside. It was funny.
