Setting up a Routine


1. Sunday 8AM. Get up, freshen up and get dressed for a morning walk.

2. Grab some fresh rolls and croissants from the bakery in 5 minutes walking distance. Despite the Working-Verboten-on-Sunday law, bakeries are a typical exception from the rule.

3. Make a decent coffee! Thanks to our new De'Longhi espresso machine life has a meaning again ;-). There is no Starbucks anywhere close by but now we are able to make our own cafe latte and London Fog again.


4. Lay the breakfast table to your liking. We have a sweet tooth and prefer jam, nougat spread (Nutella of course) and a Rhineland specialty: Golden syrup - made from sugar beets.

5. Enjoy the day ;-) Live is good!

      Sounds like Upper Thames Froth?!

      Might well be. But that wouldn't be a very marketable name globally, or would it? ;-)

    I figured that drink had to be milky tea!

    You are not in short supply of beauty and interest there. Isn't that bakery building a Dutch design?

      Honestly, I don't have a clue. Martha. I'll see what I can find out.

      You betcha, Brandy. We miss you, too. And you would love the vegan variety over here.

      The roots are widely grown along the river Rhine where they find ideal climatic and soil condition. Our small country is one of the major producers of sugar beet amongst Russia, US and France.

    Oh how I love sugar beet syrup. My favorite breakfast item and no way to get it here, unfortunately. A German bakery in 5 min walking distance sounds like heaven to me also. We have a bakery in 10 min walking distance but not much I like to get from there, baaaaah.
