We did find some nice ornaments in Germany, but we got one of those spinny candle things and probably too many gluhwein mugs ;-) I think I would be very afraid to cycle in England, Bee.

Your poor husband must be black and blue. I have nearly twisted my ankle on cobblestones many, many times. Cobblesones are nice to look at but hard on the feet! Oh no!

Can I ask where you found it? We have this pretty glittery wire topper thing that we bought in England, but it's hard to see it. I think we need something else.

But I would just be afraid I'd slip on the snow and crack my head open. The scooters/mopeds in the bike lane took a little getting used to, but they're ok. In general, everyone seems to get along okay. Julia, I think the secret to winter biking is lots of layers. But I would just be afraid I’d slip on the snow and crack my head open.

I am so sad that I haven't had a lot of time to read lately. But I know I'll be catching up on the plane home ;-) And yes, we definitely are NOT getting a big tree. Since we're probably be moving back to England, we need to stay small. Plus we would still only have about 10 ornaments--Haha! LucyLucia, I’m glad you enjoyed The Woman in White.

But English cyclists are pretty impressive, too, considering the almost total lack of bike lanes here. I hope you can retrieve your box of Xmas ornaments. I really couldn't be doing without my memories of Xmas past. Did you find anything nice at the Cologne market? Dutch cyclists are definitely intrepid!

Great pictures....my hubby rides to work and though it doesnt snow much here it is slippery on the cobblestone and icy he has crashed too many times to count. Have a wonderful weekend.
