What a sunny day! Still too cool for T-Shirt only, but I caught the sun on my forehead. For breakfast I had some of the honey we were given as a present in Hanover – well, it needs eating and gives energy. As Bad Gandersheim is not directly on the Leine I took a slightly … Read more
I had managed to take my bike along to Hanover by train, where we had a Kreistag delegation trip. After three fully packed days I set off by bike to get back home, the others returned by train. I started off by going to and then along the Maschsee, which I had seen from above … Read more
