Oh de Cologne!

Always a real treat this time of year to hit the ole European continent in an attempt to soak up a millimetre or two of that envious pre-Christmas atmosphere and charm that seems to descend upon the place like the proverbial mountain dew.

This time it was to Cologne we did venture to sample the delights of the bratwurst and the schnitzel, the glühwein und the kölsch, whilst eyeing up the sights, rejoicing in the relaxed atmosphere of a city that feels safe as houses and savouring the quirkiness of the interior design as much as the splendour of the magnificent colossus outside.

Were the world a smaller place, I'd be back like a shot!

Ooh! It ain't 'alf Christmassy!

More soon ...

 

Great indoors!

And out!
