Two more German glories... Köln, then Bonn...
Well, more exactly, we were in Kalk, very much just on the edge of Köln & then at ... friendly bunches of people at both venues, sitting at tables and drinking (well, it helps)... and mopping up the Christmas atmosphere...
...This was alive & well in both places, and Xmas stalls were marvellous, if a little marred by rain in Bonn.
In Kalk, we were at the Burgerhaus, as part of the excellent Vocale 2012 celebration (which includes The Real Group, Maybebop and many others); and in Bonn we were in the lovely Haus der Springmaus... for our tenth visit! Great to see everyone again... (tho' we hope Andrea gets better soon...)
In Bonn, Beethoven was keeping his counsel as to which of the documents left under his statue was most pertinent to his views! He was also surrounded by railings... as if he wanted to start a riot...
We swap the cute German market square full of stalls for the cute Belgian market square from tomorrow... Ghent * here we come...
Four gents in Gent ** - (geddit??) five as we are accompanied there by Andy Massey)....
