Skipper

I won't be staying in 'Mad Ludwig II's' picturesque castle at Fussen(that's him on the left) but I will, I hope, after cabbing it to the airport at this obscenely early hour, shortly be chez my sister Elizabeth (for my annual visit along with my brother) in a lovely little farming village called Ruderatshofen.

Either way, posting is likely to be light to minimal until I return but I may do one or two from within the heart of southern Germany, quite possibly on that subject so dear to my heart: litter. My sister told me on the phone last night that the weather was dry with lots of 'summery' autumn sun expected- won't say no to that after my last week in Stockport.
