FROHE WEIHNACHTEN! At this juncture I'm counting on that being an accurate translation of “Merry Christmas” – Google Language Tools doesn't often lark about with that kind of thing, so I'm reasonably certain they haven't given me the phrase for “I can tell you're into amateur animal husbandry”.

This blog written on my phone and absolutely not on Richie's laptop, because he doesn't hold with all that sort of thing. Here we are in sunny Austria – snow in every direction and us with the distinct will to slide down it. We think we've been followed by a church bell from Cologne which…
