It was Flo's grandma's birthday - she's only 75. We went for a little family celebration at the house, an hour away by train. I was nervous about speaking German with them, supposing they wouldn't speak English. Guten Tag! Ahh... the easiest yet most useful one comes in handy. His mum was there, his step-dad, his uncle and the family, not that big but enough to crowd around the table for tea and lecker (yummy) cakes and later on a traditional German dinner. Deer meat and gravy. Pear in cabbage. Red cabbage. Potato (I call it potato rice). Cheese cake. Fruit pie. Almonds icing cake. Cream cake.
Mmmmm... it is difficult to be not speaking the same language because I couldn't understand:( They did try some english though, and I'm glad it was still a good weekend.
