eventually I succeeded in getting to stay some days with my family. it has been years...

I had some really lovely days... it felt good to be back... during the last seven years, I hardly got to see my family more than three or four times a year... I had been abroad for some time, yes... but apart from that... there is nothing justifying this sad truth...

well, will be back at the end of the month for my grandparents´ 60th wedding anniversary..

they are so lovely, sure they grew older every day and in some way it is breakin´ my heart to see it...as I cannot get back home very often, whenever I get to see em again, they seem to have got a little bit older...

nevertheless they are still in good shape for their ages...still teasing each other... my grandpa is turning ninety next year and he still drives a car...=))

no far distances, but hey... that is quite an unsual thing to do....at his age...

it was really good to spend some time with my beloved grandparents!!

I also got to take my godchild to horseriding...I used to go horseriding for more than 8 years... it was one of my passions when I was a girl... in fact, it might have been my only real passion...
I loved it so much, I even wanted to run a horse farm one day...
I even absolved my internship in the 9th grade at the riding stable I used to take riding lessons at...

the last time I got there might have been 6 years ago or even more...I do not quite remember...

it was weird to be back...I knew it has been ages, but all still felt familar to me and sure there were familar faces...

some of them still recognised me...=)

but the most surprising thing was that my former riding teacher did not teach anymore...instead a girl I knew from then does now...

and by then she was still such a little girl...
now she must be around 20, but looks a lot older than me....

and seeing here that grown-up made me so conscious of the fact how much time must have passed by...
it was funny, but it was shocking in some way...
cos somehow I still feel like the little girl from then every once in a while...


I had some lovely days and in fact it was the first time for ages that I really did not want to get back...

usually it was like I needed to get back to Bochum because I was not used anymore to being in company the whole time... plus there is always a lot of work waiting for me...but this time I just forgot about the whole shit...finally...

I need to work on that...!

thank you for some lovely days, you guys.
love you lots...!
