Wow!
Thanks for the photos!
My mom and daughters are in London and said the fog has rolled in there too.
We have white sausages here also around harvest time, but I haven't had any in years.

How are your girls doing? I always listen to the news if there is some Mackerel like uproar in London, but until now everything seems quiet. ;)
Are the enjoying their vacation? When are they going to return?

Me neither:sad: I wish I could have snapped the beauty of that place... as the best part is to come now:

I decided not to leave without taking at least a few pictures of MY personal moste beloved place, the garden of the monks with the buildings the monks lived in. In summer this is the most amazing place ever. I'll explain later why.

See the number on the building? Since then the house stands there. In earlier times there were monks living in it. Now it's part of a research center for ... yes... ummm... well... something with enviromental protection.

More pics. :)
We had the lovliest sunshine today, sorry that you had that fog. But it adds a bit of winter magic to the bulidings.

The girls and mom are having a great time.
Mom took a fall a few days ago and bruised her hand. She seems ok tho.
The oldest was bit by a goose. No details on that one yet. They will be back Tuesday.

I love the mixture between ancient times and modern times.

There is a tree in the middle, where the students of silviculture learn how to crop a tree in summer. That's pretty funny as there are hundreds of pretty young men hanging in that tree ;)) half naked ;)

Ok. I am working at the WRONG universtiy. No half naked students in trees. Only a facility manager in muscle shirts who looks like someone from the woods (Waldschrat). :)

After taking tons of pictures we decided to hunt down the Weisswurst, but not without taking a picture of the rest of the old part of Weihenstephan with a view to the old part of the universitiy for...ermm... anything with polution and geobotanic.

I spend afternoons and afternoons there, waiting for my father to finish his lectures... in anything with polution and geobotanics;)

And especially for Mariapia, here is a little white bear and then there is the picture of the Beer-bear of Freising and how the garden looks like in summer and how the Brewery looks like if there is no fog. And, last but not least, the trophy of my hunt: white sausages. On the airport!!


With a warm and friendly happy new year from the eldest brewery I'll close my picture greetings;)

I love your capsule tradition, remainsilly!
All we have to do now, is look for a nice container or rush to the shops to find one....:yahoo::yahoo:
Click to expand...
My container is a hallmark ornament.
Time capsule for 2000/ millenium.
The bottom unscrews, to hold paper scroll.
Repurposed its function. Into New Year tradition.;)

Hi, Tomsmom.:wave:
Thank you.:kitty::heart:

next very special area is the hidden and not well known source of water everybody talks about in that city. You have to find it, it is really hard to find, but is said is has power to (whatever.) See the beerbanks in front of the building? In summer students sit there and have a break of lessons while seeing the alps.

Really appreciate you taking us on this journey.
These photos especially are beautiful, imo.:hbeat:
millivanilli said:
come here! :love: We will search the hidden watersource and have a beertasting. Freising is full of bears. We have a beerbear and a gaybear and a telephonebear and a funky bear and a holy bear and a cheesebear and a cakebear and a bear for children to ride on and an orphanbear and a flowerbear... there are lots of them.

Dear islanders, I am wishing you all a very happy new year. Here 2016 will end in about 7 hours. Hopefully, 2017 will be a good, peaceful and healthy year for all of us filled with love and bags:hbeat:
Click to expand...
2016 was strange mixture.
Agreed, loved my trip to NZ. :sunshine:
But identity theft & death sucked.:death:
Some gorgeous bags rolled through here, though.:tup:

Wishing all a 2017 filled with bright sparks & shadows, in good balance.:hugs:

Planning my party wardrobe for tonight.
Top of list, disgruntled crab face:

Poor dog. My aunt's dog is totally scared about fireworks.

I would be so mad. Do you happen to know which bag they are fighting about? This is stupid. :sad:

We were younger... And optimistic. :smile:

Yep. Promised. No fighting. :biggrin:

I am ready to fetch some cigarettes at the moment. In Nova Scotia. You can come with me.

Thise pics are so cool. :smile: Never seen the brewery of Weihenstephan irl. Hehehe. The bike! I wonder if the prof/student sleeps in the library, because he forgot to get out before the building was closed for the holidays. ;)
Glad you got your Frühschoppen before 12 o'clock. ;)

Cigarettes in Nova Scotia? I am in!:smile::smile:
As for the bag my nieces were fighting about, I don't know!
My brother shouldn't have told me about the whole thing... Sometimes I don't understand why people don't shut up...:nuts:

Hello, islanders.:wave:

VERY glad this isn't "ban island"--never made sense to me. Seems way to sabotage self & feel weird guilt over nice bags.:confused1:

Dog & I walked a lot today. And discussed life, death, whatnot. Then watched very interesting squirrels. And 1 of us peed on trees.:p
I bought white lilies.
And am grateful for everyone's kind posts about cat.:heart:

I like New Year. But not most parties.
Which usually lack proper amounts of ice cream & face painting, imo.
We spend time trimming trees, clearing dead garden bits.
Preparing clean slate. For year to come.

Also have time capsule tradition.
Write what liked about year, what disliked, plans for upcoming year. And what have learned.
We do this together. Reading words from previous year. Then sealing new ones into container. For next New Year.
Hopefully, see progress & good outweighing bad. But not always.;)

Glad many are enjoying post-Christmas sales & colorful accessories.
Helps move along these grey days into Spring.:tup:

Time capsule is a lovely tradition.
We always end the old year on the 31st with a cozy dinner for two, a game of scrabble by the fire with popcorm and a bit of champagne, and... if we can stay awake... a romantic movie later in the evening. This year it will be Singin' In The Rain in honor of Debbie Reynolds.
Then we ring in the new year on the 1st with a brisk walk along the bay, feeling quite smug that we're up early with no hangovers.
