About Me

My photo
We are now in Oz after two amazing years of traveling Europe in our home built plane. We met many fantastic people who we are proud to call friends and have gained a much better understanding of the similarities and differences between the cultures of the different European states as well as the history and geography that have lead to these differences. We enjoy meeting people with similar interests to ourselves and learning more about other cultures. Please let us know if you're going to be in Queensland and would like to catch up for a meal and a chat.

Speed canards and carbon fibre bike parts.

Now you may have occasionally heard me talk about Speed Canards and how I am obsessed with the concept of rocket ship styled planes. So of course when we were tempted into the lovely VeloCity bike store in Bonn by the folding bikes in it's window display, it was completely natural that Franz who works there previously worked with them...

This experience has lead to his ongoing interest in carbon fibre bike parts and he has recently written a chapter of a book for bile mechanics on the topic.  He an his girlfriend Katrin were kind enough to invite us around for an exquisite dinner, which i shall now record here for posterity.
with Franz and Katrin

Smoked black pudding with a layer of creme fraiche and a layer of apples gratineed.
Kalbsroulade, veal roll with sage with local organic white asparagus which had a great flavour and potatoes.
Icecream with a special date, apple and pear reduced sauce from liege.
It's so nice meeting people with similar hobbies to myself.
