oh colonia claudia ara agrippinensium!
we haven't been for so long and when our best friend in the world EVER threatend to give up on us we hurried onto the next plane and tried to land as close to sülz as possible as we hear that that's the place to be!
landing on berrenrather strasse reminded us also immediately of all the little things that make the highstreet of this funky part of town such a lovely place, with shops and bakeries and buchladen and everything that in london we have given up on for so long...ever-so-sweet and lovely pamela truly delivered and turned the promise 'we'll take care of you' practically into a threat (try lifting one finger in her presence and you're dead)...
how she managed to put all these great things into one weekend and yet made us return relaxed, well-fed, giggled out and with seriously damaged credit cards but a bagful of beautiful clothes from her special little places is beyond us but boy was it fun! look a little closer and you taletellingly see the cheeky grin on her face!
well - we actually didn't feel like leaving at all and although pam is now big boss (or shall we say 'big sister') in a big place (her office here is as big as a ballroom and we are incredibly proud of her) we on the other hand would actually quite happily accept a job as fleischereiverkauferin or as the bakery help only to be near all this lovely comfort food that they are selling up and down the high street...
certainly we wouldn't dare to inspire to this great bohemia lifestyle of late breakfasts (actually, so late that the other bohemian (pictured) got a little nervous...), fags with black coffee, half written manuscripts and smoking dens after midnight and sale assistants who take you to a secret loo into a cellar down the road while waiting for your credit card company to give the green light for that seriously out of reach coat...only in cologne, as they say...
