Like our Epen (Nl) old tradition \u00a0“Burckbraenne”<\/p>\n

Getting up late: 7.30. <\/span>While I was\u00a0gathering\u00a0my belongings No\u00ebl and\u00a0Lee were interviewing the boss, a non-merry Widow. <\/span>She seemed a bit sad. <\/span>Dutch lady (Hoogervorst), at least our age, since 4 years\u00a0a widow of a German man, childless. <\/span>Fortunately for her we threesome all sang loudly from our beds this\u00a0morning, which undoubtedly was heard far down the corridor. <\/span>maybe it cheered up her early morning. <\/span>In any case we do. <\/span>Birds singing early are for the cat (Dutch saying). <\/span>A joke was told about a caterpillar, a bird and a cat, and quickly we had the the right atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span>Lee lost a glove, I didn’t\u00a0find my i-pad bag. <\/span>Solution: i-padbag hung in the bedroom under a coat and\u00a0I borrowed Lee\u00a0a “heisj”\u00a0(glove).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A phone call\u00a0with mien Leeste (my love) taught me that there was\u00a0a broadcasting\u00a0again by radio and by regional newspapers on my journey. <\/span>Seems publicity-horniness. <\/span>I hope Mama Alice\u00a0will profit of\u00a0it, because I do not need all the attention. <\/span>I have no deeper message. Exept maybe for s<\/span>ome clich\u00e9 remarks, that home\u00a0sweet home is quite easy going and comfortable. <\/span>So\u00a0try to feel satisfied; and\u00a0<\/span>hat an older youngster like me, with a non-operated hernia and a torn calf muscle,\u00a0with a heavily\u00a0loaded backpack can walk thousands of kilometers<\/span> if\u00a0one only wants to. <\/span>So don’t do\u00a0too much whining. <\/span>And that everyone is nice, if\u00a0approached in a friendly way. <\/span>And\u00a0every place is nice to be, if you adapt\u00a0and adjust;\u00a0 and whatever other “discoveries”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We saw\u00a0a lot of deer. <\/span>Lee, the nature man, professionally speaks\u00a0on a high population density. <\/span>He calls this a “coulissen” landscape, predominantly flat to gently rolling, with in\u00a0between bushes and hedgerows. <\/span>He and Noel saw\u00a0a bullfinch. <\/span>A story about the\u00a0bullfinches,\u00a0that Lee\u00a0tried to breed long ago. <\/span>And thus we chatted all\u00a0evening.
\n<\/span>The flat-Diets dialect here\u00a0resembles much the flat-Dutch of my home region, as the\u00a0nameplates show. <\/span>Photo. <\/span>I also saw announcements of traditional spring fires, as we have in Epen, the Burck Braenne. <\/span>Apparently this is ante-Christian\u00a0tradition\u00a0that still exists in Europe. <\/span>Photo.
\n<\/span>The two men had found a shelter\u00a0at a, as they called it,\u00a0smoking district nurse’s (that’s what they like)\u00a0in Kellinghusen.\u00a0She was running<\/span>\u00a0a pension owned by two men in Brockstedt and I was told to go there. <\/span>Finally,\u00a0arriving in Brockstedt, exhausted,\u00a0 it appeared not to exist, hostal closed. <\/span>SMS to No\u00ebl: I got Lee at No\u00ebls phone. <\/span>Yes, apparently they are so close that they can use each other’s handy. <\/span>What is happening here, where does\u00a0this end? <\/span>They\u00a0found another place,\u00a03 km. ahead<\/span>, on a farm, which was much cheaper but dirtier. <\/span>A kind of horse farm. <\/span>Above and next to our room was a lot of stumbling. <\/span>According to the signs outside, probably from some Alice or Nadine. <\/span>While we were discussing our new residence, room door open and Lee overlooking the corridor, one of those\u00a0renters in the hallway came running along our door and\u00a0closed our door. <\/span>That’s what can happen. If <\/span>No\u00ebl or I had been sitting\u00a0there,\u00a0no doubt\u00a0an animated conversation would have started instead of our door being closed by a lady neighbour.. <\/span>Lee, ke’eleman (dummy)!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We discuss the plans for tomorrow: another 25 km. to Nortorf, where\u00a0Lee and Noel Tuesday morning will be\u00a0homeward bound by train.
\nAfter No\u00ebl and I\u00a0tried the 2 persons\u00a0bed (Lee\u00a0prefeered to\u00a0sleep on a mattress on the floor because No\u00ebl and I\u00a0had eaten garlic) the men decided to walk\u00a03 km.\u00a0back to a restaurant in Brockstedt, and afterwards another 3 km. return to the farm. Brings my total over 36 km. today.
\nAbout the desert\u00a0we still had a hot discussion: No\u00ebl ordered “Eiskugeln mit\u00a0Geschlachtshomoon (sex hormone)” Eiskugeln mit Schlagsahne. There was some discussion about his intention. But satisfied we went to 3 km. home. Shower tonight or tomorrow? We did not get towels so we decided to shower tonight, so that our own towels could dry overnight. Tosca has a place under a canopy in the straw: Romantic. More tomorrow.<\/p>\n
