Little Elliot, Big City.

Hi there Friends! Sometimes something special happens. This is one of those times, I'd like to share with you.

Extend that to 2.5 hours and we… Continue reading Mini Break : Cricket on Helgoland

Taking Stock : May 2015

It's that time again, if you can believe it! Another month down and in just two more sleeps it's officially Summer time here in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm hoping Hamburg's weather will get the memo - June is often a strange mix of cold, but sunny & humid but gloomy days - with heavy downpours… Continue reading Taking Stock : May 2015
