8/8/13 Verden

The boys hit the big Horse event & I hit this fabulous special chair with Kristin from Aesthetic Lounge.
Not much more to tell...secret women's business.



This is Kristin from Verden...& she is gorgeous! Kristin lives in a beautiful home with her 3 boys. She has her sister on one side & her World Famous horse riding Aunt (who was a brilliant & acclaimed rider back in the 1960's) living on the other side. I had a wonderful day with her & afterwards she introduced me to a yummy German cocktail...the Hugo. I have the recipe & will be trying it out on my friends back home.


The infamous Hugo cocktail...& it tastes as good as it looks. We are at the Bodega bar waiting for the boys to finish at the Horse Show before we went to dinner. Andrew & Nick put in a 12 hour day but they said it was very worthwhile. They had an amazing time.


We are very lucky...Pades was a restaurant recommended to us but bookings were full. They say its not what you know, but who & Kristin's cousin owns the restaurant...


Wolfgang & Kristin were great fun & their English was very good making it an easy night of stories & laughter, as well as a beautiful meal. Kristin's family make cookies & she tells me it is not a big company, but the statistics are awesome. They produce 100 tonnes a day & 27,000 tonnes of cookies a year...that's a lot of cookie dough!


The restaurant has a lovely outdoor terrace & garden area & Wolfgang was going to do a smoked BBQ  the next day that he said we would love...very tempting. But its after midnight &  we want to be on the road to Prague early because it's a bit of a haul, so...
