COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good morning all. It’s still 6C here.

I am glad to hear it has warmed up for you Jane. I am still taking thermals when we head up for Mum’s birthday this weekend though

Lena, I am not expecting Vienna & Budapest to be much warmer than Roskilde,but I am looking forwards to the postcards. I have never been to Hungary! I love Vienna, but it can be VERY cold there.

Fingers crossed for rain in Cape Town and successful post in Paisley too.

John, it would be ringing Royal Mail and putting in a complaint about missing post. You won’t get compensation probably, but if people complain they will start investigating... it happened here a few years ago and they caught a guy at the sorting office.

I am happy to say we did get a little bit of rain. Just enough to wet the ground. But we will take anything we can get so not complaining.

Good evening all. A flying visit as I have been out governoring again and I need some dinner! Not see you tomorrow!

Sure I am always happy to share pics. But most of these have already been posted here, so apologies to those of you have already seen them. The pic of baby 1 had sand in the table, until JoesMum taught me otherwise. Baby2 is what Baby looks like now and is the most recent photo. Baby3 is more or less right in the beginning after I found Baby, however the grass did not do well in the table so had to replace it. And the closed chamber is what I finally figured out this weekend - how to close the table. But I have since realised that I the wall might get mold due to the humidty so have to figure something out which will solve that issue and or try and find a better solution that won't cost me the earth.

Thank you for the pics. Your babies are cute. Where do you get them from ?

Haha. I expect it could be colder if anything, these countries being in the middle of the continent. But geographically, they're south, which is just a heart-warming thought.
Any tips regarding Vienna? It will be my first trip to both places.

Just LOVE both Vienna and Budapest and Prague. I'm sure the Christmas Markets are all set up in Vienna and down by The Ratskeller I believe they have a great outdoor ice skating rink, market stalls, grilled salmon, CHEESES, warm wine, roasted ham hocks, chestnuts etc. In Budapest, in the small street behind the US embassy are two very very traditional local Hungarian restaurants with great food, not touristy at all. Both are great, I believe one serves local Hungarian beer, and one doesnt. These are the kinds of places where local families gather for Sunday lunches. Try both!

Heres one of them, the street is Hold Street

Splendid advice.
And points for the cheese mention, of course!
