Back to the roots

p1060175After 37 years I have moved back to Lüneburg, the town I grew up in. During these years I have been visiting Lüneburg regularly to see my family or to show the place to visitors from abroad, and during the last years I began to appreciate the beauty of this town.

When my mother declared that she wanted to sell the family home and move to a small flat it didn’t take us long to decide to sell our house in Schleswig-Holstein and buy the house I grew up in instead.

After many weeks of showing our old home to strangers we finally found a buyer and moved to Lüneburg 5 days before Christmas.

Staying in the house feels like being in a holiday home. The most important things are unpacked, but it doesn’t feel like home yet. I feel like an intruder in my parent’s house, but I am optimistic that these feelings will fade when we begin restoring and renovating the house.

I am also excited about exploring old places and discovering new ones. From now on you will find more fotos from Northern-Saxony here, especially of the area south of Hamburg.

  1. Wuensche Dir einen guten Start 2017 in dem neuen Haus, das Ihr sicher so herrichtet wie Ihr es wollt. Dann wird es sich anfuehlen wie euer Heim. Viel Spass!

    1. Happy New Year to you, too!
      I will take you along the Elbe, before it reaches Hamburg and to the Harz and some parts of the former East Germany, and I will be grumbling about all the renovating, while loving it at the same time. All the best to you! Trina
