Minden our own business

There are many little towns around Buende, some we always visit and I love, some in have to be dragged to.  

Minden has always been one of the latter.  For the amount of time it takes to get there, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

 The shops are the same but smaller with less on offer.

Today I went with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised.  

The shops are still small, but the town itself is lovely with gorgeous olde worlde building, not disimilar to Oxford.

Today they were preparing for the Kultur Fest.

They Germans do know how to throw a party.
