Thank you, gents!  It's lovely country.
Work let us  raise our children here and send them to school.

After nearly two years, this Trucker is back again. The 526L-od is still going strong.

The jacket is located 20 km north from Hagen. Normally this is our nearby MTB spot, with many secret freeride runs.
For the right reasons, forest rangers are not amused about riding at the moment. It is far to dry in the woods!!

Daily routine… feeding fishes with Japanese chips.

Together with an IHSH-13

At the moment the only action to capture is the way to work and homeschooling with the kids.
Two years ago, I already introduced the disused railway to work here.
Some more pics.

Lots of funny and out of the ordinary moments I get there.

The Steel Rider

Crossing the Autobahn I usually have to take.

Saw it, when this tree was felled years ago….

Ruy on the left, carrots on the right.

Public self-cleaning open air pool. Without water at the moment and closed.

A pic from unpandemic times.

The counterpart to the garden house is hidden in the window above. Guess what it is?

Germany is preparing for the next step. Produced ecological energy (mostly by wind in the north), has to be transferred into the south. This is how it looks like….

Love the World Tours.

It is a great fit on you. Looks spectacular. Lovely work on the tour too buddy.

We are reading The Hobbit with the kids at the moment. Subsequent review….

When it comes to Artwork…
...I like Alan Lee (from 1997) in this case.

Kids love Jemima Catlin (from 2013)

But hard to beat is David Wenzel (from 1990!!)

Great updates @Aetas    Really like how you incorporated the jacket into reading time. It’s a creative lure for some of us who are less inclined to pick up a book on our spare time. 

[neph93]

That looks fantastic. My parents read The Hobbit to me when I was a child, and I've done the same. Also all Alan Lee LOTR art brings back so many memories. I have an illustrated copy of LOTR by him, and when I was a kid I used to get a LOTR calender with a lot of his work. Great post @Aetas

Been trying to introduce my eldest to the Hobbit…. Graphic Novel might be a good idea..
Thanks.

This jacket looks great. Love the beating that it's taking. Another 5 yrs and my IHxSE od type III will look like this

We have a massive problem with bark beetles around here.

Bought a posy for an invitation…

After dinner: Two boys sitting in front of this sound system. Headphones on and a grin from ear to ear.

Some beautiful wines assisted…

…to step easily out of my music comfort zone. Sound was overwhelming.
