    Hello,

    the last tornado in this area occurred nearly 50 years ago. We cannot speak about tornado seasons I guess ;).

    Hello,

    aren't we all nuts ;).

    Yesterday I collected some acorns in the woods. I think I will try to roast them and to grind them so they resemble coffee ;).

    Hello,

    ;)

    I few minutes ago I roasted the acorns and tried the coffee experiment. Well, it tasted a bit like coffee substitute made from barley malt. Not too bad, but not too good either. Roasted chestnuts are way better ;).

    Hello,

    no, that's not my kind of fun. One or two times I visited the Stuttgarter Weihnachtsmarkt and sometimes I visit more local Christmas fairs. I usually do this to make other people happy ;).

    Hello,

    it will be great ;). If you have some time to kill don't forget to visit Christmas fairs in the small towns around Nuernberg. Sometimes one find real pearls there ;). Do you come only for the Chrsitkindlesmarkt?

    Regards
    Gyro

    Actually I've never been to the fair. I have close relatives in Fürth, so I sometimes visit.

    Summer is my least favorite because it gets hot here.

    Fall, Winter and Spring each have their own reasons for my favor but Winter is starting to lose a lot for me as I get older and have trouble with all the ice.

    I visited Nurnberg once, this is their youth hostel:

    :2thumbsup: We drove by there without planning anything and there just happened to be a medieval festival going on too. A superb coincidence! :) This was in the summer.

    Also stumbled on a wintry pic :p

    Hello,

    last year I commuted a lot from my town, over the Swabian Mountains, towards Nuernberg, Fuerth, Bamberg and then on to a small town near the former German/German border. Sunday noon from the southwest to the east and friday night back to the southwest. Unfortunately I'd never seen more than the train stations.

    Regards
    Gyro
