It was our pleasure to have friends from Melbourne stay with us last week. Alison is a friend of Julie’s from high school, and she spent 4 days with us (with her 7 year old daughter Lucy) at the end of their month long holiday in Europe. It was great for Julie to have a shopping partner for a few days and they spent precious time together in both Lux and Trier (Germany).
Here is Mia having a giggle with her Mum this afternoon.
Happy 40th Birthday to my beautiful wife Julie. I gave Jules a matching bracelet and necklace from Frey Wille. This is a jeweller from Vienna who makes very distinctive jewellery. I chose the endless love design which you can see up close HERE.
After two fun weeks in Luxembourg, sadly Mum and Dad left us today to go home to Melbourne. They boarded the 5pm TGV (fast train) to Paris, and we spoke to them late tonight before they boarded the plane. It was fantastic to have them here and we really enjoyed showing them beautiful Luxembourg.
The photo on the left was taken just before they left today. (Please ignore Gabs height, she is wearing new crazy high heel shoes, she is definitely not that tall)… 🙂
Julie & I purchased some really cool Villeroy & Boch coffee mugs (left) with the worlds most comfortable handles. Villeroy & Boch fine Chinaware started life in Luxembourg in 1748, but unfortunately they no longer manufacture here and they now manufacture mostly in China (of course) and some in Germany. We were lucky to find these mugs which are some of the last Made in Luxembourg products available.
The past couple of days have been spent relaxing in Luxembourg. Yesterday we visited the Casemates (which are the fortification tunnels used to protect the city in past centuries). Today Mia had her first vaccination shots so she was a bit out of sorts but she made a great comeback late today and was able to come down to the Grund with us.
Today we have the 3 hour drive back to Luxembourg and we are hoping Mia can make it with lots of sleep and only one feed stop. Hotel check out is at 11am so we should be home late afternoon.
