23 August 2008As promised, Christel and Andy turned up with cars and we followed them to Winnenden. The house is big and an unusual layout. It was converted from some sort of farm building and now serves as a home and an alternative therapy centre.
We wandered down the road to the pub. Like many of the places that we visited they put their industrial relics out as decorations. In other places it was a wine press but in Winnenden it was the brandy still that featured in gardens. We settled down in the pub and the kids did their thing.
They played with cameras and camera-phones. Alice did hair plaiting and the boys played games on their ipods. I didn't even know that you could do that.
It was another great meal and many thanks to Christel and Andy for treating us so well. Afterwards we strolled back in the night back to their house. It was a house of treasures. A cuckoo clock that didn't work. A harmonium that did. Medical charts on the wall indicating accupuncture points and a couple of treatment rooms. Even though we were stuffed we still found space for ice creams from the freezer.
We piled back into the cars and returned to Allmersbach.
