House in exchange

It is the one we chose in exchange for the farmhouse in France

The snow is the same - but it is 300 m lower and easy to reach

We will drvie about 90 minutes.

It is the Black Forest - Schwarzwald, South Germany

I am standing in the garden and looking to the neigbours‘ ground

There won‘t be much gardening - which I like -  there is no fence - which I like, too.

The little play house will belong to us.

I like already the village and the castle which is about 300 m away

I think we will spend lovely holidays and weekends here, with family and friends

The caste in the village

and how it looked in old times

The fir trees are huge - and dark - hence the name Black Forest.

I couldn’t help but take this idyllic encampment on a Sunday afternoon at the

grandparents‘ - after a good meal - but also after the straining olympic games at night

on the sofa - not to forget the visit to the disco with friends - (the younger one of them) 

While all this is happening I am sewing something in the evenings

EPP - English paper piecing - all by hand

trying out - does it fit?

No —- not yet

trying - sewing - turning around

I can‘t tell yet what it will be.
