I just discovered it's been slightly more then a year (2 days to be exact), that I wrote my last blog. Embarrassing! It also means I haven't really travelled for two years, not counting my visits to Germany. And that Covid-19 is still a thing. So this is another Intermezzo blog, which is strange.

There is always something to do on the countryside
That's been my luck, I guess, during these Covid times.

Only the lonely no more?
You sound and look like Covid has rested the travelling bones so the old life is breathing happy visions of the new, Ralf. Life can be like that. Looking forward to how this eventuates in your coming blogs. Shortly before Covid hit, a Dutchman who our daughter met in Byron Bay 5 years ago and has been in an international relationship with her, emigrated to Australia to be with her. Covid has prevented us visiting or being visited by his large Dutch family but Denise is getting expert at cooking some cracker Dutch delicacies...and I'm wandering around with an Amsterdam jacket covering my chest. Will His Dudeness be a lone traveller no more? As we all know the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42. What is your Answer to the Ultimate Question?

I hope I have answered your question satisfactory, but I probably haven't and that is also life!
