Tuesdays around the world


How do you Welcome Spring?? You got it right!! With an outdoor barbecue. When we were invited to one over the weekend, we did not refuse. This was a first time for us and we loved it immensely. It was a unique experience.
       In Deutschland, people who have no yards in their houses, rent a portion of land in the outskirts of the village to have gardens of their own. Better still, some of them buy such land called meadows. A friend of ours has one such meadow, where they have planted their apple trees. Here is where they organized their weekend barbecue. Families cycled over to the meadow where beer benches and tables were already laid out. We ate, drank, played, walked through the forest, ate some more. In all, we had a great time. 

Do not forget to share your world with us today. We would love to visit you!!!
