It's that time of the year when people get reckless and start walking around in summer outfits, and the next day you hear them coughing and sneezing along the office floor.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-79075897017221473782015-04-19T18:50:43.901+02:002015-04-19T18:50:43.901+02:00Another lovely and interesting post.

It's beautiful and sunny here but you wouldn't be wearing such light clothes because we have a cold East wind.

So I was interested to learn the answer too, now. (Thanks, Meikes Mum!) The name in Swedish is Kejsarkrona, so the same as in German.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-65005462707972098772015-04-18T08:55:25.011+02:002015-04-18T08:55:25.011+02:00Yes, it really is a lovely place, no matter what t...Yes, it really is a lovely place, no matter what time of the year, but particularly so in spring.<br />Crinoline and bonnet...

But those photos of all the people in the parade for the Pferdemarkt! How amazing and beautiful and intriguing.Not to fail to appreciate the wonderful costumes, but I especially liked all the "bicycles" and the coaches. I guess (but am afraid I am wrong!) that it was you with your daffodil jacket who had the after eight ice cream. Let us know. I feel as if I should be remembering something about your attitude toward chocolate, but am just not sure.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-49719016867527905752015-04-17T17:07:03.935+02:002015-04-17T17:07:03.935+02:00These are especially beautiful photos ... really e...These are especially beautiful photos ... really enjoyed seeing you in your yellow top among the daffodils.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791018174075586241noreply@blogger.com
