Germany - Sirzenich, near Trier

2025

21st and 22nd May

We have diverted from our route to visit some old friends, Steffen and Isolde.  In 1992 we answered the door to a stranger who was looking for a lodger of ours.  We invited him in for a cup of tea and from that moment began a friendship that has lasted for over 30 years.  Steffen lodged with us in the Easter and summer holidays whilst studying Feldenkrais in Lewes.  We have common interests, we both built our own houses and he is also a rock climber like Neil.  I’m so pleased we were in that day!



Steffen and Isolde took us on a wonderful walk to a conservation area full of orchids, wild flowers and butterflies.  We then went for lunch to Villa Weisshaus with views overlooking Trier.
