I'm here, in Germany, visiting my family and this is my "desk"... the apartment dining table, which looks out onto the balcony, where we are staying. We have spent quite some time shopping whilst my DD and her DH are unexpectedly back at the hospital with the little one so you can see some of the stash I've acquired. Shopping is good therapy! My fave craft shop closed but I found an even better one and they sell a great range of German stamps. I'm knitting to keep myself busy too and I plan to marble those eggs just like I saw being demonstrated at the craft shop. The rose plant and the Hundertwasser postcard was a welcome gift from DD's thoughtful inlaws. There's a lovely rooftop view, beyond the balcony, as we are two floors high, if only you could see a little more!
Call in on our wonderful leader, Julia's blog... stamping ground to witness an amazing range of so many more desks from all around the world and here is where I am this week....
Above, down by the river a really lovely spot..... below the special cart and horses will take tourist around this lovely picturesque historic town.

I love the color of the yarn, very rich and yummy.
Hi Jo,

What lovely picture. It looks like a beautiful place. Hope the rest of your visit goes well and the little one is soon recovering.
nice yarns, and looks like a lovely place to be visiting. Happy WOYWW - Hugs - Caroline xoxo
A nice change of scene - pity about the little one being back in hospital. I did chuckle seeing the German buildings - I have house stamps that look just like them, coming from The Netherlands. Hope you have a safe journey home.
Hope all is well with your family.
Nice to meet someone else from the North West.
I'm glad you are keeping occpuied while in Germany, Jo. Shopping is good therapy and it looks a beautiful place. I'm sure your DD is comforted to have you close. I think about you all often.
If you want something else to do with those eggs as well as marbling them, have a look at the gorgeous ones Michelle has done. Her blog is Midnight Crafter.
Take care of yourselves. Big Hugs

What a pretty town. Supports my unscientific theory that any German town ending in burg or berg is worth a visit
Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures with us. Don't you love the finding of a new store! Hope we get to see those german stamps. TFS
What a great desk! Please share images of your new stamps with us!
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely pictures Jo, and knitting! I haven't knitted in ages..years! Thanks for the very nice snoop!!
(((Happy Very Late WOYWW Lyn)))
I love seeing all of your photos of Germany Jo, they're really beautiful as are the ones of Brighton and Lewes too! Very sorry to hear about your little Grandee back in hospital again and what an awful thing for you all to have to endure. Life just doesn't make sense sometimes does it? How wonderful that Twiglet found her a new bear too! Very pretty little hats, it's good to have something to concentrate on.
Hugs to all
Brenda
