Twin Town Trip to Braunfels


Early in the morning of Thursday 28 September I drove Stuart and Junior Mayor Gemma Legg to Stanstead Airport where we met up with Garry Poulson, Kath Osborne and Christopher Harper for our four day trip to Newbury's German twin town, Braunfels.

Although the flight is only one hour ten minutes, we didn't arrive at our destination until 5pm. We were greeted at their Tourist Information centre, and presented with special umbrellas - an omen of weather to come?

Stuart and I were driven to our hosts home in a town 3km away. Our hosts were a lovely retired couple called Isolde and Walter, who made us most welcome.
