Hello Friends,
This holiday season will be different as we all know well. I have not been in Freiburg for Christmas before, first time for everything. Therefore my decorations are quirkier than usual, making do with what is here, as you know I do.
These glass marbles were bought years ago for a project Bruce wanted to make, they are pretty so I kept them and brought them out for this season. The picture is one of my fondest of us taken at Lake Louise, Alberta, early in our courtship when my hair wasn't grey and he had some.
Germany has been under lockdown since November 1, restaurants closed, it became more severe December 16 with retail shops closed and hair salons. If you didn't get your shopping done before, you won't, or get creative! Of course online shopping is regular now but then you contend with shipping and arrival times.
This is going to sound like an advertisement but I had a great online shopping experience this week. I met a fellow selling soups in jars at our Rieselfeld market a couple of weeks ago. The product is sourced locally, freshly made with a shelf life and organic. You order online (it was easy) and they deliver to your door which they did. Here is the website if you are curious but they only deliver locally they don't ship due to the four week shelf life and requirement to keep in the fridge.
www.mm-lieferbar.com I found it to be a personal and friendly experience.
This is why I don't have a tree because you know this is what would happen...
I have been enjoying the changing views from the flat and here are some.
Merry Christmas to you! Virtual hugs, Bev and Lexi Cat
