A sunny, spring day in the Moseltal, so we made the most of the blue skies and headed off for a spin along the River. We ended up in the village of Brodenbach and had one of those nice lunches which are unexpected and inexpensive - a bratwurst and a beer from an Imbiss (Snack) stand. There was a little picnic spot there as well, so that we could watch the barges and talk to the ducks. The beer was a local one - Königsbacher - from Koblenz, since we were pointed in that direction......
......just the bottle, not a glass or even a straw - and since we didn't want to appear as people who just had to have a glass (Dahling!) to drink their beer, we knocked it back straight out of the bottle like everybody else.
We saw fifteen barges altogether during our little foray - fifteen barges on the fifteenth day of March. Beware the Ides, so they say, and a man who was killed 2056 years ago today is still remembered. Those ol' calendars were a bit complicated back in them there days - all that counting backwards, I'd never know where I was.....
I was back here this afternoon though, and got a good few hours painting done. I would like to get this painting finished in the next couple of weeks, so I'll have to find myself a few more hours a day from Somewhere....
So, until then,
Tschüss!!
