    Hamburgers in Hamburg!!!

As a joke I said we were going to join her and to shorten the story for you all, we ended up hiring a car and bringing a Japanese friend along too.

    Happy Monday – Tea arrives!!

    Tea-party o’clock… YEY! It worked! Our desperate plea for tea worked! Our lovely housemate from home sent us the goodies we were craving!

In fact, this is all we have left: These 4 teabags are going to have to last a few weeks… anyone out there willing to help and send us some over? I’m not sure Jason will be able to survive!! Haha – the trials and tribulations of living abroad… it’s a hard life 😉

    Happy 1st of May!

    If we took a holiday, Took some time to celebrate Just one day out of life, It would be, It would be so nice… Today is a national holiday in Germany – yey! So everywhere is closed and we don’t have to work. So we thought it would be a good excuse for morning pancakes. Here’s a photo to make you jelly. Have you had Speculoos before? It is the most amazing thing ever created and on the top of a pancake is it heaven on a plate. It’s become a bit popular recently and they even had it in Waitrose last time I looked, so get out there people…
