When I still used to work in the small town next to Ludwigsburg, I always spent my lunch break walking, often crossing a bridge above the railway lines. On windy days, I sometimes had to literally hold on to the railing for fear of being blown off the bridge - not kidding! In fact, I once wrote about that here on my blog, some years ago: http://librarianwithsecrets.blogspot.de/2010/10/thirty-minutes-three-encounters.htmlLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-89530257307642449982014-11-15T17:20:30.490+00:002014-11-15T17:20:30.490+00:00Helen we've had so much rain over the last few...Helen we've had so much rain over the last few weeks that everywhere is sodden.
