A Brand New Blog

I have just created a brand new blog to discuss all knitting related subjects and present my new designs. It can be found here:  Corinne's Knits

Hope to "see" you there! :)

Nikolaus Steam Train Ride

This was a special ride on a steam train, especially for Nikolaus, leaving from Darmstadt main station and making a stop in the woods before getting back to town, with a visit from Nikolaus on the way.

Arriving at the station. We just told the boys that we were going to the station to look at trains. So, they were pleasantly surprised to see a steam train and even more surprised to learn that we were getting on it!

Fun Autumn Walk with Lots of Mushrooms

On Sunday afternoon, we went for a walk in the Odenwald, we were lucky to spot a lot of different mushrooms.

Really cool looking roots

Couldn't Resist! <3
