That time of the year, the electricity bill, but here's an idea for the village

I will be making a presentation to the local Gemeinde (Parish Council) that could save the local villagers €250,000 per year on their electricity bills. Let's see what the reaction is.

Best wishes for the New Year

I wish you, and all your family a very happy and healthy New Year. If you have never visited the Nature Park area of the Bavarian Forest, 2010 is the year to do it. Drachselsried in the middle of Zellertal, check it out on Google Maps and see what a wonderful place it is to visit.

Sunday was the Drachselsried Christmas festival

Every year on the second Advent, Drachselsried has it's own local Christmas festival, called Weihnachtsmarkt. This is when St. Nikolaus arrives. Local people, visitors, children and many local clubs meet, and drink a mulled wine or beer. Thank goodness this year the weather was dry and not cold.

Last major job before the winter

3rd November saw our local Gardening club plant 430 plants and bushes around the village of Drachselsried. Next year visitors will see many new trees and landscaping to make our village one of the nicest in the area.
