lots of presents, including some additions to the Beanie Baby collection :

After opening the presents, we had the usual huge turkey with all the trimming, including Marian's
famous bread rolls. At New Year, after letting off the fireworks, we went to the nearest cash machine
and took out our very first euros. Emily and Becky with went skating with their friend Danielle, on
the private ice rink in Danielle's back garden :

took to the stage :

In May, Emily took part in Mozart's Magic Flute at the school. In June both girls showed off what they had learned in gymnastics.
At the end of June, we went to England for 3 weeks and spent the time near Chichester with John's parents.
Cousin Ellen came to visit and the three girls enjoyed feeding the ducks :

We also spent some time looking around London, the Queen invited us in for tea
and then we checked out the Horseguard :

Halloween produced a lot of strange looking witches and ghosts in Probstdorf. In October Marian
replaced her Golf with a Peugeot 206 and in November Marian flew to London to see her sister Lisa :
