Holger's brother,sister, nieces and step mum all came for lunch, it was lovely to meet them all. They had come from different places, Hamburg, Munich and Tria, a town near to the Luxemburg border, by plane and car.

We enjoyed an Italian style buffet with some really nice wine and a good time was had by all.
