There was a letter from mum this morning and one from Dorothy which I’m replying to seperately, a letter there from being such an event in my life. This little lake lies along the side of the main road I go past it everytime I go into the town it has swans on it and […]

Another view of the interior of the Wartburg this is Luther’s room. Behind where this photograph has been taken there is a lovely old cupboard with carved doors and it’s rather unfortunate it got left out.

I’m spending all of today in Weimar and made the awful discovery on arrival that our tickets here were only single and not return as we thought having paid 3.70 each for them so this is going to be a much more expensive day than we intended it to be. We’ve already been in the […]
