My first year in DE

Morning people!
Its a year today since we came to Germany! and I'll celebrate it by getting a wee goose to sit on my doorstep! or will it be the straw hedgehog my man hates so much! Just want to fit into the neighbourhood!!
Well what a year its been! a rollercoaster ride thats for sure, but its all settled down and we are ticking over nicely.My german while better than a year ago isn't brilliant but I can survive! Don't miss Scotland tooo much these days, just the rellies really. Actually caught myself being happy the other day so things must be ok!! I just laugh at the rude B****'s I meet now and hope their next shit's a hedgehog! mmm, bit of a theme going on here!
Well thanks to you all for your help, advice and support, not to mention the crack! over the last year! Have a great day!!

Gald to hear all is fine in sunny Celle ! Hope to see you all soon at out next meeting, keep smiling...

one thing i ask myself, who misses Scotland at all...to many men in skirts there

Ah yes! there's nothing like easy access!!

trust you to think of that

was in edigburgh for 2 weeks and liked it very much, countryside is nice.
people were very friendly towards the dog we had with us in a pub, about 4 different people came over and asked to talk to the dog, us 3 english they did not talk to. but i enjoyed my stay there

Scotland is fantastic, I love the place. Used to love going up near Auchengillan ( is that how its spelt?) and the Isle of Arran when I was kid camping with the scouts.
Used to visit some mates regulary in Glesgie who were studying up there as well and had some crackin nights out on the tiles. Oh Yesh!! ..wee rides everywhere!
Could,nt live there though ( or anywhere in the UK come to think of it ) because of expensive living, crap weather, bad food, ( deep fried pizza and Mars bars etc etc you all know the usual stuff.
Am thinking of visiting the highlands again though and doing a bit of camping...one thing I always hated though was being attacked by those bloody midgies all day . anyone else had that in Scotland when camping? Drive yer bloody mad those things.

The only way to avoid the midges is to avoid the midge season or find a campsite that has none. To be sure that there are no midges you need to arrive at dusk. I can remember one occasion when we were attacked by midges as soon as we started getting the tent out of the boot and jumped back into the car and drove away, we ended up putting the tent up at midnight in a midge free zone miles from where we wanted to be. Another time we camped on a windy clifftop with two broken tent poles held together with elastoplast, all to avoid yet another midge attack.

Midges aside, Scotland's a great place for a holiday, my favourite bit is the Western Isles.

Well done on surviving a year Sandra. We had a big party after a year because it coincided with my husbands 30th birthday. So I think you should celebrate the anniversary with more than a goose on the doorstep.

Yes Rebecca! You're right!
We've got a babysitter for saturday night so plan to hit Hannover and have a curry and lots of G&T's!! Maybe check out a blues club |I heard about...pity my 3 year old will be bouncing on the bed at 7am though!!

a goose on the doorstep? cheeky...

Yeah! I'd rather have a knee trembler... if the old man can remember how!!
