Hello friends,

I heard from a big German Round Robin. And I want to join. It will start next year, but this doesn’t matter.

I will visit lower Saxony before we start.

Today Murph showed me Bad Salzdetfurth. It is an old mining city  - and it is my home now.

Here you see a photo of the emblem.



This is a museum with many old machines of the mining time.





Can you see us?



There were Salines in the Park. The people used them to produce salt in the Past.



I decided to sleep in this wonderful cave, when it will get warmer.



There is a street of planets In Bad Salzdetfurth. All planets are in the correct distance to the sun all over the city. We found the Earth. 



It is a really beautiful city.



Then we drove to this funny sculpture. Do you know these two guys?



They are Max and Moritz.



Wilhelm Busch wrote about their story in a book. He lived here.



Many greetings

Hello friends,

Today we made a trip to the wisent park in Springe. We saw a lot of animals there.

First we saw these beautiful birds.



They were almost as beautiful as Buzz.

This is a hotel for bugs.



We met moose…





… and many deer.



These lazy animals gave the name for the park. (No - not the nice ones in the front - look behind us!)



This big sign was really interesting for me!



More beautiful animals!









It was a great trip.

Hello friends,

It was cold and windy today, but we wanted to make a nice trip to Alfeld.

In Alfeld everything is decorated for Christmas.



I would love to see this old tower in the summertime – I think that it will be more beautiful then.



On the marketplace there is a funny monument.





And a beautiful fountain.



The marketstreet and the townhall.





What a shock! I thought that the church burned.



Luckily it was only smoke from a factory behind the church.

I found this wonderful houw – the old Latin School.



Near to it there was another statue.



On our way back we saw this big angel. I wanted a photo with it.



At home we we lightened the first candle of the Advent wreath.



We were not able to celebrate the first Advent for a long time. Buzz will travel to his next host tomorrow  – fam-united is waiting for him.



He climbed into his envelope.



Have a good trip, Buzz.

Hello,

today I show you our Advent calender. Yes – it is right – we have our own calender for TVs.



Murph found the number one – what will be in there?



So many sweets!



Then we all searched for the number 4.



I found it!





I had to look, what was in it.





What a wonderful Advent calender.

Many greetings

Hello friends,

two days ago I was allowed to open a gift out of our Advent Calendar.



Today we went into the forest with Murph. We searched mushrooms. First we found a lilac mushroom.



Murph told us that it was eatable.



This mushroom was a wood blewit.

We loved this too. It is called hair ice.



Unfortunately these mushrooms were frozen. 



Oyster mushroom, really yummy!

This big mushroom is eatable, too.



It is a trooping funnel mushroom. Sadly it was too big for our basket.



There were many of these mushrooms.



We searched for these mushrooms, but they were too small.



Their name is velvet foot. We found bigger ones.



We cut them and put them into our basket.



Then we went home with our full basket.



At home we said goodbye to Snakey.



Snakey will travel to his next host. Have a safe trip.



What a wonderful day in the forest.

Hello to all,

Have a look, what Bine and Holgi brought home from their shopping trip.



Do you know it? It is a  „root of rutabaga“!  We want to cook it today.  First we had to cut it into small pieces.



Then it was ready in the pot.



Then we put meat and potatoes into the pot – and it had to cook for a long time.



Murph mashed it.



I cut the sausages for the stew.



At Bine’s home it is called „Schlunse“



It was delicious.

Many greetings

Hallo friends,

Today we made a trip to Seesen. First we saw this funny sign. I wanted a photo. Can you see me?



This house was so beautiful!





Next to the sights  in Seesen there are always windows to sit in.

Here you can see the museum.



We went to a playground. What a great seesaw!



Next to the playground there was a lake with a lot of ducks. We talked with the ducks.



This statue shows Wilhelm Busch, a German poet.



He wrote the story of Max and Moritz. Do you know the story and the boys?



And another window. You can see the Sehusa-Castle.



Then we drove some more kilometers and – look, what we found.





I will go on holidays with my friends now – we won’t have internet – but I will tell you more, when I am back.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Stoker

Hello,

When we arrived, we saw that we had a Christmas Tree in our holiday flat.



How excitiing. We received a big parcel for Christmas. It was from Hummel, RikeH and Dicker Kumpel. What will be in it?



We had a look.



A present for me!





A beautiful candle. Thanks a lot Dicker Kumpel!





We found another nice thing in the Parcel. It was a big candleholder for Bine and Holgi. We decorated it for Christmas. It was wonderful!





We received a lot of sweets. Thanks Hummel!



What a great Christmas Eve.

Many greetings

Hello to all of you,

today we visited Hann.Münden. There was a wonderful town hall.





This was the Weserstein.



This is the place where the Rivers Werra and Fulda meet to form the River Weser.



A wonderful bridge over the Fulda.



Hann.Münden has a lot of beautiful half-timbered houses.





I really loved the old town gate.





We took a photo of the Castle from this nice bridge.





I really loved this old Town.

Love
Stoker

Hello Guys,

Today we went to Kassel.





There were wonderful orchids in the greenhouse.







We made a rest at this small fountain.



Then we walked through the wonderful palace garden.



An old aqueduct.



I didn’t know, what this pyramid is for.



The bridge of devils.



Look at this wonderful palace!



I loved it – I want to live in it.



This would be a wonderful home for me, but unfortunately Bine had not enough money to buy it.

Many Greetings
Stoker 

Hello again,

Today we wanted to visit the Sababurg.  Unfortunately it was closed.



We decided to go to the jungle Sababurg.



At the beginning we found this cabin.



Let’s go.



There were many wonderful tree-mushrooms.



Which roundtrip should we choose?



The trees were very old.



We continued our walk.



What a pity, we had no basket with us, because we found theses oyster mushrooms.



In this jungle all trees will stay at their places, when they fall – no ranger will come and tidy up.



What a wonderful forest!

Many greetings

Hallo friends,

today we were in a baroque town . There was a ‘Invalidenhaus’. It was built for injured people during the World Wars.



At this little Tower you can see the water-levels of the River Weser.



We all wanted a photo with this friendly man.



Here was something I know from Bad Salzdetfurth – a saline.



You stand next to the saline and breeze the healthy air.



To tell the truth – our saline at home is much better.

Our last photo in Bad Karlshafen – it is the town hall.



I was so excited. The German RR will start. And I am a member of it.

I said good-bye to Murph and Orpheus.



Then I jumped into my envelope.



I start. Noisy - I am coming!

Until soon
Stoker

Full moon!
