On Saturday we headed into the city centre to check out the flea market (six very cold looking sellers with overpriced merchandise – I’m hoping it improves in the spring) and get some food from the farmer’s market (very good!). And then on a whim, because it was a stunningly sunny and beautiful morning, we headed down the steep valley side into Grund, and wandered around until our toes got too numb to walk any further. It’s a beautiful little neighbourhood and I’m imagining long summer evenings sitting on the banks of the river with a glass of Luxembourgish white wine…

Looks wonderful. Can you guarantee that sort of weather when we come over in March?
(By the way, the red dress looks great, but since red is definitely not my colour, what do you suggest is the equivalent level of bravery (as opposed to stupidity) for a middle-aged father?)

I hope it is nice! We’ve had four stunningly beautiful days in a row. Really looking forward to showing you around though so we’ll be out come rain come shine!
Dad, your clothing situation has already VASTLY improved in the last ten years so I think you can relax a bit for now ;)

Your new city is very pretty. And I too liked the red dress and your reflections on bravery regarding your fashion/color choices.

Grund looks beautiful, it reminds me of Fribourg, Switzerland, and definitely of picnics by the water, cheese, strawberries, good company !

Looks like the “slipper and the rose” set – anyone for a bride finding ball?

Me too! Haven’t watched it years. I wonder if it’s on dvd? And yes, it does look a little like that here! I wonder where it was filmed? Cinderella’s house was beautiful…
