Spring continues

I hope you will all understand why blogging had to be exchanged for a nice time in the sunshine (we were soooo deprived of that in Scotland in recent weeks!) with the work fit in between and some cultural events thrown in as well.

A fellow Edinburgh photographer Laurence Winram joined us to see the latest photography exhibition in Edinburgh which is the collection of portraits by August Sander. And talking about all the things German (our friends there would be happy) we have just finished watching a great documentary series about German culture of the Enlightment by Al Murray (his German Adventure). He is a British stand up comedian who made his money on laughing at various European nations as a pub landlord caracter. I have heard one joke about Poles ('how dare they bring their work ethic to our country?!' or something like that) but he was a bit more ruthless with Germans so he decided to cooperate with BBC 4 and produce a programme that explains how fascinating country Germany is. So let's hope we will be able to have a wee break in Berlin soon!
