A new beginning, my apprenticeship...

Well we are back from Germany and its straight back to work again at the bakery but this time with a difference. Yep I am now on a Baker's Apprenticeship. And just so you all know, this is not one of my cakes in the picture... We came into work a 4am to this beautiful surprise, yep it had been baking away all night, it couldnt get much more black than what it is now.

So now i'm on the bread production side of things, learning lots of new things, and loving it...

Only one complaint, it's freezing back here. Yep lots of snow and very little sunshine.

So Much To See and Do

There's just so much to see and do in Europe. So many castles to see... different foods to taste... people to meet... It really has been great! This photo is of me at the Heidelburg Castle Ruins, it was my favourite place. But its so hard to compare.

We saw and did so much.

Mike's family was great, lots of home made cooking. Pizza from a home made pizza oven, it was the best i've ever tasted.
Old family recipes that his Grandmother showed us how to cook.
And fantastic restaurants meals with good friends.

But all to soon our 6 weeks in Germany were over. One of our last outings was a lovely evening with Mikes family, it was Oma Maria's 80th birthday. I wore my derndl (Barvarian Outfit). We had coffee and cake, then later in the evening a beautiful dinner. Mike played some songs on his guitar and sung a couple of songs we got off Charlie in Karumba, Australia.
It was a lovely evening, and very sad also.

It was very hard saying goodbye and tears flowed easily.
