It’s good to stop and remember, smell the poppies now and then.

Conkers, riding bikes without helmets, pop rocks … ah, those were the days. x

Great quote but remember: don’t mention the war.

DP and I grew up in South London. The whole area was full of the most exciting adventure playgrounds – years later we realized that our favourite ‘hide an seek’ venues were really bomb sites; former churches, houses and shops. All over the world the innocent continue to suffer at the hands of the few mad men.

(You can tell that ‘Elf and Safety’ weren’t such an issue for playing children back then. We were even allowed to play with conkers!)

“The moment has come when the question of bombing of German cities simply for the sake of increasing the terror, though under other pretexts, should be reviewed. Otherwise we shall come into control of an utterly ruined land.”
Good to see that Winston Churchill stopped the raids for all the right reasons…

Oooh, I’m pretty sure I know the wine cellar. I didn’t realize they do jello shots there.

Even though only 10% of its old world charm remains, Würzburg is still one of my favourite places on this earth.

years ago, i was at a conference in Würzburg, and found myself singing along with an ancient pianist in a 500 year old wine cellar during the conference dinner. And just now realized that the venue must have housed a few of those survivors…

humans. we just can’t seem to quit this ‘murder for a greater good’ thing that we call war…
