Hey, did it look like I wasn't grateful enough? ;-) Geez, if I was the pious
kind, I'd be down on me knees all day to thank the good lord for a person
like Kate. As I am not, I tried to make her stay as pleasant as possible,
cooking my best for her, tried to keep it low fat and sent her her charger
back, including a tube of very nice hand moisturizer. Well, I even offered
her payment (which she refused). And I invited her for the wedding. What
else could I have done to show my gratitude?

The cooking was SPLENDID! I suffered not a jot in the wailing innards
department. The bed was comfy, the company delightful, and I had a
grand time.
The phone charger arrived safely, and my hands are so soft now they may
liquify! ;)
Things I wish we had more time for:
Playing with the green Husqvarna and getting that reverse button to pop
out reliably!
Dismantling the tension on the Singer and cleaning it...
Disemboweling the Pfaff at your brother's, cleaning it up, and playing
with the stitch patterns!
Playing more with the patterns on Auntie's Pfaff, and getting to know
her industrial sized Singer treadle!
Visiting some local sights, and taking a look at Weeze/Laarbruch and
Goch - which were a bit far away for this trip!
Teaching Christine more English words and learning more German. Knowing
the German for onions and bread rolls and a gliderdrome (segulflugeland
[sp?]) can only take you so far...
Unfortunately the work load and GMNT commitments mean I can't get back
for the wedding, which is so sad. I'd have loved to be there.

Oh, that could be 'Segelfliegerland' or 'Segelflugland', Google didn't show
anything.

Kate, you'll have to come and visit another time; I'm serious. I had meant
to show you some castles in our area. We're not all rustic farmhouses and
shafthead frames. We'll be cultural capital 2010, so there must be more to

us than just that. ;->

I love rustic farmhouses, shafted frames and all! I was facinated by
the barn roof, and would have loved to poke about in the smithy as well.
I am still amazed that the structure was all so late. All the half
timbered buildings round this area are 1600's or earlier. After that it
was all brick and stone. Well, there was a lot of stone and flint
before that, but most houses were half-timbered with wattle & daub,
flint, or brick in-fill. And some of the 18th C looking houses ate
actually much older, but were given a face lift in the late 1700's with
new windows and a mathematical tile skin.
And yes, we will be back. Maybe your parents should keep one of the
barn flats for holiday letting.
