No 7.2021 - a bit smaller rise, didn’t refresh last week, but very tasty #sourdough

Madness, same as yesterday, just in the north of #cologne instead of the south. Still the #rhine though

Late season nativity

One of our Christmas traditions has been to visit various churches in Cologne during Advent and the time to Candlemas to see the Nativities 1.

In years past this “hike” was augmented with a Weihnachtsmarkt visit and some Glühwein.

This year 2, of course, we didn’t.

Today, on a walk in one of the Veedel 3 we don’t normally visit, we went into a new-gothic church and found this fairly modern and somewhat naive nativity.
