We have definitely settled into our little routine; Frühstuck, trip, lunch, movie, tea, soaps, bed/chat to GO, read, bed.
We have continued to revisit places of the past and have discovered new, exciting places.
Botanische Garten
During the Weihnachts be such we visited the tier park in Bielefeld, passing a sign for the Botanische Garten, promising that we would return in the summer. We we have returned. It was a lovely walk up (uphill) and around the garden. There were lots of native plants but also some more exotic flavours. We didn't see the whole garden, both the rents are unaccustomed to that much walking, but we saw enough. Again it was free to visit, what is loved was watching the could walking around planning which plants they wanted.
Mamilein and Papichen wanted to relive last years dramatic summer so they took me to the Kurpark in Bad Oyenhausen, it was lovely, very peaceful. Everywhere you looked there were little groups of people walking or sitting and conversing. It was very easy to forget that most of these individuals were probably recovering from some recent trauma or medical condition. It is most definitely in the German mindset (at least those of a certain generation) that there is nothing that can't be cured by a nice long walk in the fresh air. I tend to think I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly.
