p.s.  the cake picture....  Someone forget to get forks so it was eaten using 'credit cards' as spoons!   ;D

I suppose the credit cards were no use anymore. They would have all been at their limit.

Boy I really would have loved to go to an event like that. And like you said Maggie with a really large suitcase to fill.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this blog John - how sad that is the end  :'(
Think I will go back to the beginning and enjoy it all over again.

The German festival looks fantastic with so much temptation. 

Thanks for taking the time (I know how time consuming blogging can be).  Much appreciated
