Hamburg #5: the little big house on the prairie

I dunno how many other chapters there will be about Hamburg, but put me there for a week and I grab zillions of memories, can't help it! :)

Just around Hamburg, in Rögen, there's the family house:

It's a typical old farm, quite low walls with a huge, huge roof. I love it! It could be the house of a fairy tale actually.
Fairy tales, I'm sure German *believes* more in them than we do. Trolls seem to be part of the daily life there...Or Xmas, they're crazy about Xmas, but not in a flashy way, neeee... more like.. enjoying the warmth of it. Wooden angels decorate the houses. Candles are put on the windows. Candles... they put REAL burning candles in their Christmas trees there!!!! (something we hardly do anymore here since electricity was invented)

(happy sigh)

Anyway,
The real master of Rögen seems to be Findus!
A beauDiful mice hunter, a very cuddly one too.

And there's a lil shrimpette who understood very quickly that it was important to entertain properly the master of the house ;-)
