Out Back

So this is in the courtyard of our house. As you can see what is now the garage was one a 'garage' for carriages and wagons, and the other doors you see used to be stalls for animals, but are now storage sheds and bike sheds. Life in Germany is different. I do not have a dryer, so I hope for sun so I can hang my clothes on the line. I do not have a dishwasher, or a car. So, life can get a bit difficult at times, I have to make sure I plan everything well with my time. The door open is our bike shed. That gate leads to the big back garden where David and Sam feast on fruits of all sorts. Blackberries, raspberries, Johanisberries, Gooseberries, 2 apple trees, 2 cherry trees, 3 plum trees and 1 pear tree, which the land lord told me is over 100 years old and is by far the largest tree in the back yard.

Willkommen in unserem Haus in Deutschland

We have moved to Rosdorf, Germany! These are photos of our house here. We will live in Germany for 2 years while Machiel does research on sabbatical at Georg-August Universität in Göttingen. We chose the picturesque village of Rosdorf for the schools, the quiet and that it had everything a person needs and is still close to the city. This house is about 200 years old and has been passed down in the family through each new generation. It was an old farm house. It is now divided into 3 houses, we are the left upstairs side. So this is a view of the house from the street and the front garden in front of our steps.
