A Bavarian Saturday

I must be getting used to this winter thing - I found myself saying oh look, it's only
-6°C! Today is the first day since the snow set in when the mountains can be seen in all their glory. Now I believe those calendar pictures. The family are spending time at home, cooking to cater for all tastes (vegan in my case, non-dairy for CG, Dutch soup for Hedda, chicken just for the fun of it). Hedda and Titus went to the village shop on their own with a little list and 20 euros. Apart from leaving her gloves behind, H managed it all splendidly. She would never have gone without T, who is the spokesperson for his excruciatingly shy sister. They're a winning team, when they aren't practising Sumo wrestling techniques on each other.

This afternoon we are trying out a church with a view to our Christmas Eve agenda. Obligingly, the abbey down the road is putting on a children's service. Straight afterwards we'll move on to an 'Altbayerischer Weihnachtsmarkt'. You may remember that CG and I had planned to shop. In the end, we just couldn't face it. We'll get our share of pushing and shoving at the Christmas market, but a mug of Glühwein will make it just about bearable!
