  Went to Konstanz and spent a lovely day there. Revisited the Imperia - a statue at the entrance of the harbour of Konstanz, a reminder of the Council of Konstanz that took place there between 1414 and 1418. This concrete statue is 10 meters high, and stands on a pedestal that rotates on its axis every 3 minutes. I really like her - holding religion & royalty in all their naked glory in her hands!

Today we visited our friends at Schluchsee - a lakeside village in the Black Forest. A lovely pictureresque drive of about an hour brought us to the Hotel where they were staying- and with their family we all visited a beautiful working glass shop
near by - then had a light lunch at a hotel. Snow was gently falling but there was no wind. A beautiful day near the largest lake in the Black Forest. Hello there- we arrived back in our beloved Busingen on Wednesday 18th. I must say I don't travel well and arrived at Zurich airport tired and grumpy -then we missed the 9.01am train to Schaffhausen 'cause our luggage took ages to emerge and had to wait for the 10.01am train (yep you heard right -1 minute to the sec passed the hour!!!) However everything was perfect when we rocked up to the flat. First a mug of coffee and some apple cake appropriated from the plane and then off to the shops for supplies. A walk along the Rhine confirmed our belief that this is paradise- the water so clear and still that the opposite side was mirror reflected in the glowing sun. This is Spring and the ducks can be seen everywhere along the Rhine gathering materials to build their nests - some already proudly settled in. Tulips & daffodils are unfolding their petals before our very eyes- and trees are blossoming before they reveal their delicious summer fruits.  | Author
