Here is our first beer balcony visitor for the year! Ksusha from Ukraine stopped by here after concluding her business trip in another part of Europe.
Son Thomas and she had met while both were attending university in Shanghai last year.

One of my friends on Facebook called me the ‘fleißigste Botschafterin, die er kennt’ (the most diligent ambassador he knows of).
I unite nations on the beer balcony. 🙂
Beer Balcony Season has started again. My first visitor this summer was Martina, who used to live in our neighborhood. We had met at a camp fire on Halloween night 10 years ago.
And yes, it can be a glass of wine too.
Our visitors are just about to board the InterCity back to Paris after having spent three days with us in Oberursel.
Yes, this is 30 December and we were on the balcony, dressed in sweaters only. This winter has been very mild so far. The only slightly wintry thing you see on my balcony are the dead strawberry plants in the planter.

Right after we took the previous Beer Balcony photo yesterday evening, we had our next visitors coming up the stairs.
Lisa (on the left) also attended the same international school with son Thomas and friend Gareth. So it was a small 10-year reunion. This all happened by chance.
Lisa, originally from Bad Homburg, is currently enrolled at university in Aberdeen. I’ve got her mom on the other side.
Earlier this past week, we had visitors here from Paris for four days. This must have been the first time we failed to have our Beer Balcony picture taken! But I know they will be back, so there will be a next time.
This weekend, we welcomed Gareth from PA/USA into our home and onto the balcony. Son Thomas and he used to be schoolmates at Frankfurt International School (FIS) in Oberursel until Gareth left in 2005. Another thing they have in common – they were both born in Japan, within three months of each other. Well, you know, expat kids.
