Happy October!

 Happy October to all my friends and readers

New Calendar picture with this
beautiful watercolour painting by Hanka Koebsch

"Rundflug"
"Sightseeing Flight
"

Hanka and Frank say to this picture:
Rostock Zoo has offspring polar bears. The twins Kaja and Skadi quickly conquered the hearts of zoo visitors. We too were often guests of the polar bear family and observed the development of the little ones.
Der Rostocker Zoo hat Eisbärennachwuchs. Die Zwillinge Kaja und Skadi eroberten ganz schnell die Herzen der Zoo-Besucher. Auch wir waren oft bei der Eisbärenfamilie zu Gast und haben die Entwicklung der Kleinen beobachtet.

Another great watercolour painting by Hanka Koebsch. Enjoy!

September is always one of my favourite months. Because autumn starts, the days get cooler and I can finally breathe again. We had some nice family events, a wedding, a Golden wedding anniversary, a 70th birthday, some other parties. And two concerts, one with Klezmer music (more or less Jewish wedding dances, brilliant), one classical one with works by Rossini, Haydn, Debussy and others.

But the biggest event were our holidays. Malmö and Göteborg were our destinations where we met our sons. Sweden is fantastic and we will always remember the wonderful people, the beautiful landscape, the fantastic towns, just everything about this great country.

    1. Thanks, Lark. It was a great month (even with all my health problems) and seeing our sons in Sweden was the best of all.
      And yes, that owl watercolour is so typical for the two artists, Just breathtaking.

  3. Happy October! Happy to hear you enjoyed Sweden (although I was not there (haha). Thank you for the warm words about my country. September is a nice month, summer is over and you can still have nice, warm days. A slow transfer to more autumnal months.

    1. We've been to Sweden before, Lisbeth, and always liked it. This was such a lovely and easy holiday with taking the ferry (although there were some mishaps) that we will surely come again. Must coordinate better with you next time, especially if we don't meet the boys. LOL

    1. Thanks, Eva. It actually only rained once and then we went to visit the Volvo museum, so no harm done.
