Bachelor Party in Germany

Partying is always a good reason for a trip home and this weekend there were two occasions.
Saturday morning Rafi invited to his birthday brunch and on the evening we celebrated Marc's "last free day".

We met at six and handed over the bachelor t-shirt which Marc had to wear the whole evening.

Subsequently we entered an old American school bus which is now equipped as a party bus

to drive to Duesseldorf where we spent the rest of the night going from bar to bar :-)

Duesseldorf is always full of bachelor and hen parties which gave Marc the possibility to practice his newly acquired dancing skills and us the chance to take some nice pictures ;-)

At four in the morning the night ended and I was pretty happy to be able to go to bed after being awake for 24 hrs (I had to leave Oxford at five to catch the bus to the airport...).

Our farewell party

After a week of hard work with packing boxes and getting administrative things done we gave our farewell party on our sixth wedding anniversary. Thanks to the help of my mother, mother in law, sister in law (who made a really fantastic cake),



Aunt Anna and Joey’s Pizza, we didn’t have to prepare more than the drinks and therefore could spend the day quite relaxed.
With having no furniture in the living room except the dining table we set up bar tables in order to make the party more comfortable for our 30 guests.



It was a great pleasure for us to have so many good friends around especially since even those with small children or having been invited to other parties managed to come for at least a short while.



Supported by a good amount of Zitronella and other spirits we had a great party which only ended in the early morning hours.
Many thanks to our guests for a really nice night, all the good wishes and the nice presents!

Housewarming at Stumpf’s place

The night before our farewell party we were invited to Yvonne and Stumpfi’s place, where they not only gave a small housewarming party but also presented the picture CD Stumpfi produced from our weekend trip to the Netherlands in April 2007. He did a great job on that, bringing the fantastic time in the CenterParcs back to our memory. It was a very funny evening.
