A Saxon Christmas

On this day...views from Dresden, Saxony, Germany... a view to Bruhl Terrace, birds in flight over the Semper Museum, Christmas Markets, the first cantata in Bach's Christmas Oratorio (BMV248) and an angels call. After a whirlwind tour from England to Australia to Germany and back to England...we are home. One of the best places to be.  I hope to bring you more of our travels to Dresden...with a list of things to see and do if you were ever to visit. More of that when life settles down, until then...

Christmas Spirit...



A woman in red, with her own unique style, bravo!

With music in my heart, Bach's Christmas Oratorio...


Lead by John Eliot Gardiner and performed by the 
Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists... 

and an angel's call for a joyous holiday...

FROM MY HOME TO YOURS... WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,
PEACE, LOVE, JOY...AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR.

  8. Although my mother is German, I've never spent more than three days anywhere in Germany. Perhaps it's time I should.
