It was in 2019 when I went to the last in person seminar. After teaching German to functionally illiterate learners for over three years I had to take a course on how to teach functionally illiterate learners German. The seminar was in Böblingen, south of Stuttgart, over three consecutive weekends.

It was spring and the weather was beautiful on the first Saturday.







In the centre of Böblingen is a lake and I took the lunchbreak to go for a walk.


I don’t remember much about the seminar but that spring day is still present in my mind.

I am not a big fan of traditional brass bands so I usually avoid the fest tents at the smaller festivals in the area. The bigger festivals have more tents and cater to different music tastes. But they were selling sausages at the local winegrowers’ festival and we were hungry, so we went in.
We were very surprised by the band on the stage. They looked spiffy but not completely different to the more traditional bands. Their music was wonderful, upbeat and boisterous. They were having a lot of fun.





So were we.
Autumn arrives with rich yellow tones overlaying the greens of summer.
Soon reds and browns join the composition.
As time goes on, it gets darker
Until the weather decides: “No more Mr Nice Autumn!”
