The Old and the New.

Every now and again we need to chill out on a Saturday morning, so

instead of runing from dot A to dot B doing food shopping OR doing odd

jobs in and around our living quarters - we drove ourselves out of

Switzerland and into Germany brite and early this morning.

Although we're still enjoying pleasant warm temperatures, I decided

it was time I shopped for a new Winter coat (I don't want to get

caught when the weather suddenly changes to minus degrees)

Luck was on my side and I found just the car coat I was searching

for, after that we went to our favorite little Bakery Restaurant for

brunch (shopping for clothes always gives me a healthy appetite

and a thirst to match)

We made ourselves comfortable at a table right on the sidewalk, and

by the time I had finished drinking my coffee, I could swear I caught my-

self a first class Autumn tan, the sun was beaming down my back and on my

arms.

When the weather's this lovely here in Europe, we simply have to enjoy

every given moment.

Before driving back home we cruised the area in search of something unusual

and of blogging interest.

A few old and new house caught my eye - still showing off their beautiful

Summer Blooms.

This is an old pre-war house, the date shows 1939 (not on pic)

Another old one showing off a bit of grape vine.

Obviously a very new house, there are Geraniums growing every where,

I would have loved to take anothe pic of this house, but I was afraid the

owner might come after me, so I took a pic and made a fast gettaway.

This is a very new block of flats or Apartments, with colorful flowers every

where.

For some reason the German flats are far larger compaired to the flats here

in Switzerland, OH! to enjoy all that space, I can't swing a cat in my flat.
