​Leisurely breakfast and mega catch up on the blog front.  Then Lisa and I stroll down into town – which is busy because it’s a Bank Holiday and it’s also sunny (those two events which are mutually exclusive in the UK).   There is a red line drawn along the pavement – Lisa explains that there was some kind of beer festival last night – which involves following the trail and much beer tasting.
We had lunch, which was only slightly marred by a grumpy waitress who was mildly pissed off by the tourist playing with the money and perhaps because she was working on the holiday, or whatever, because she flounced off before I’d finished paying, saying (Lisa translated) “Oh, I haven’t got time for this” as I was attempting to count out some change.
 
We had a stroll around the new and old parts of Bensheim and then up into vineyards and allotments.  The Germans are fond of allotments outside of the city where they can come and spend the weekend or an evening camping out and gardening or sunbathing, it seems.
 
Back to Lisa’s apartment (in a very NICE area of town!) for more chat.  We share our lives, Lisa and I, in the way that only two strangers passing each other like ships at night can do.  We even mention the war – and not in Basil Fawlty type conversation either – we walked by the Jewish Memorial in town and that led to her remembering that her father (who was a soldier in Paris and who died when she was only 17yrs of age) and she had never really discussed this period of his life.   She is very caring and sorts me out with a downloadable navigation system ‘specially for bicycles called Komoot then organises sample routes for me for the next three days (a tad optimistically as it turns out!).
 
I see from a facebook message from Seth, that Steve is now set up with a computer and may even be able to use messenger to get hold of me!  Time will tell.
 
Supper by the light of the setting sun, some painting, some knitting: Life is good.

Terri, I think that your trip is amazing and I will let the Lustleigh WI know how you are progressing. Where you are looks amazingly lovely. Enjoy this part of your trip so you can look back on it with warmth if and when the going gets tough.
On Saturday it was May Day and it was a glorious sunny day for it and Talia who was May Queen. Simon took immense pleasure blessing everyone with holy water using a branch of Cedar!
Your blog is totally amazing and I will follow it more closely now. Take care of yourself and have fun.
