What is that plane over head?

Flight Details

 Living in a small village there is often the opportunity discuss many aspects of life. One of my favourites is, what is that plane overhead? where has it come from?, where is it going? what type is it? Just questions, but now there are answers in real time from a website. There is a live demonstration on the Small Business Support website. You can have Apps for tablets and Smartphones.

A new couple that moved into Bodenmais about 6 months ago, is organising an English conversation evening on the 28th Jan at 19.30 in the "Dorfstadl" in Bodenmais. If you like speaking English, or are English, could be a fun evening. See you there.

17th Drachselsrieder Weihnachtsmarkt

Sunday 10th December was time for the Drachselsried Christmas Market. Held in the village market place it had a range of stalls and food stands. Pictures are worth a thousand words it is said, so here are the pictures.

The snow started later in the afternoon and was really heavy by Monday morning.

The winter season starts in Drachselsried

The 19th October is the first time this winter for Kesselfleisch at the Gasthaus zur Eiche. It is expected to be very busy. Many guests are there from 17.30, but it does not start until 19.00. Time for a few beers.

The Kirwa is open

Every year Drachselsried holds a Kirwa festival, which this year runs from 31st August until 3rd September. A very rainy start to this years festival, but it did not stop the procession. Saturday was a little better and the rain held off during the open air street market.

Freshly grilled chicken this Saturday 7th July

Sitting outside on a Saturday evening with friends, eating a portion of freshly grilled chicken and drinking a glass of beer from the local Falter brewery. Can be busy at this once a month summer evening. Very good value.

See you there.
