Whiskey in the Jar

In Poland, it's not just a song - it's a restaurant. We ate there on one of Leonora's last days here. She had the truffle burger. I had steak; Andreas had chicken. They also had fancy drinks, so we had some of those too. 

 

Meal in Dresden

After out chilly tour walking around Dresden, we were hungry and cold so we decided to go eat. We found somewhere good, too, accidentally. It was just off the main square and had delicious food.

 

Scotched and Stewed

All the squares filled and it looks like I have a lot more light green area than I wanted. Not going to bother to change it, though.

 

Stemmed and Trellises

The order of stitching has been dictated by the order the tutor is teaching us stitches. So lots of stem and chain done, some block shading, and two trellises.

 

Returned

A finished piece of needlepoint. Will turn it into something soon. 

 

A Little More Leaf

 

Some leafy bits added. Definitely showing personality now.

Pointe du Hoc Views

This is from an elevation a bit back looking into bunkers and over the cliff. You can't walk close to the cliff anymore; it's disintegrating and they're afraid it will break off with someone on it. Also, the bunkers are now locked and you can't just wander into them. Kind of sad.
