This weekend we visited friends in Oberhausen who took us to their local theatre group, which hosted an open day of theatrical activities. We saw a gorgeous little bi-lingual play called "Leckerschmecker". It featured a tiny mouse who got lost in Germany who was trying to find his way home to London. He couldn't speak any German, so needed quite a lot of audience participation to find the correct words to use. Naturally, there were two little Aussies, more than willing to scream out the correct English or German words!
We've had a few big family events with Hubertus' b'day, Oma's 89th birthday and Uncle Norbert's 77th. Samantha is fast becoming known as the queen of pavlovas, so far she has whipped up three - which is three times more than she's ever made before!!
It's Federweisser season here at last. This is a delicious bubbly wine, still fermenting. It is usually consumed with scrumptious Zwiebelkuchen - preferably overlooking a vineyard on the Moselle.
We've also recently discovered a local bottleshop which has a handsome supply of Peter Lehmen wine. The shop assistant referred to PL as "the King of the Barossa"....!! So whenever we feel homesick (or come up with any other excuse) we take a bottle home. Prost!
