Coffee and Holland.

From the beginning of the week and every day onwards the Meteorologen have been warning us that a low-pressure front will hit us on Friday bringing an early winter start. They have forecasted high winds and heavy snow falls in the high regions and light snow showers for the rest of the land with gale force winds. Temperatures will fall during Friday night below freezing point causing dangers roads conditions and because of the high winds snow drifting is expected in open places on higher grounds. On hearing that we may be snowed in till early spring (laugh) and thankful that we have contact to the outer world via Skype!!!We decided to have a day out on Wednesday; our destination was a town in Holland called Venlo which is 80 km from were we live. Our decision to go there was because my wife had seen on the web that the coffee was half the price in Holland then it was here and also one can buy Lyle’s Golden Syrup there which I love on toast, there are also one or two odds and ends which one can buy there which you can’t buy in Germany. (Mostly English stuff)
We bought 12 lbs of coffee beans (we grind them ourselves) on that alone we saved 25 Euros we also filled the car up with Diesel which was 9 cents a litre cheaper.
The weather was good (sunny) but cold, we had our dog with us and before we went shopping we had a good walk around the town.
All in all it was a good day out and a change for us.
On Tuesday afternoon my friend came round he wanted some photos that had been taken on his 60th birthday they had red eyes and he asked me if I could change that with Photoshop, no better said then done. My wife had baked an apple cake in the morning for coffee, so all was set for a pleasant afternoon with good company and as always a good chin wag.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tshüss
